Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 42.7 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 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 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 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 31 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 18.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 31 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 31 played) — 1.24 per match at 18.6, economy 3.84, strike rate 29.0.
