Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 49.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 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 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 17.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 18 played) — 0.88 per match at 30.4, economy 4.30, strike rate 42.4.
