Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 42.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.68.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 47 × 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 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 59 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 45 innings at 15.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 52 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 59 played) — 1.13 per match at 23.4, economy 3.68, strike rate 38.1.
