Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 50.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 32.5.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.33.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 10 × 40% · Batting 55 × 30% · Bowling 61 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 8 matches — 0.12 per match.
- Batting
- 199 runs in 7 innings, adjusted average 32.5, strike rate 50.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 8 wickets in 7 matches bowled in (of 8 played) — 1.14 per match at 15.0, economy 3.33, strike rate 27.0.
