Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 53.6 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 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 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 32). 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: 10 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 39 innings at 17.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 12 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 0.80 per match at 28.8, economy 4.07, strike rate 42.5.
