Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 48.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting

Strengths

- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.20.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 53 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 69 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 42 innings at 18.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 20 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 0.45 per match at 11.9, economy 3.20, strike rate 22.2.
