Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 57.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.5.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 30 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 91 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 70 innings at 18.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 125 wickets in 73 matches bowled in (of 91 played) — 1.71 per match at 15.5, economy 3.91, strike rate 23.8.
