Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 41.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 37.7.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 102.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 55 × 30% · Bowling 15 × 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
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- 435 runs in 14 innings, adjusted average 37.7, strike rate 41.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 7 wickets in 5 matches bowled in (of 13 played) — 0.54 per match at 19.1, economy 3.09, strike rate 37.1.
