Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 60.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 46 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 40 innings at 16.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 34 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 0.97 per match at 18.9, economy 4.10, strike rate 27.6.
