Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 63.6 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 17.1.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 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
- ×0.46 for the level played (1st grade 2 · 2nd grade 3 · 3rd grade 8 · 4th grade 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 41 innings at 18.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 35 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 1.25 per match at 17.1, economy 3.94, strike rate 26.0.
