Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 44.3 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 9.9.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 14 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 74 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 15.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 29 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 1.21 per match at 9.9, economy 4.10, strike rate 14.5.
