Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 51.3 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 42 × 40% · Batting 36 × 30% · Bowling 53 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 6 run outs (3 direct, 3 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- 587 runs in 44 innings, adjusted average 19.7, strike rate 51.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 34 wickets in 43 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 0.79 per match at 14.3, economy 3.73, strike rate 22.9.
