Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 59.6 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 9.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.44.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 69 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.44 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 9 run outs (5 direct, 4 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 15.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 26 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 0.79 per match at 9.2, economy 2.44, strike rate 22.6.
