Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 50.5 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 16.9.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 12 catches in 33 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.55 for the level played (1st grade 8 · Rep Div 1 6 · Club 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 5 run outs (0 direct, 5 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.52 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 16.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 28 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 0.93 per match at 16.9, economy 4.40, strike rate 23.1.
