Boundary-or-block scoring pattern
71% of runs come in boundaries yet the strike rate is modest — between boundaries the scoreboard stalls. Add strike rotation to keep bowlers from settling.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 1.88.
- ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 8 matches (0.88 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 62 × 40% · Batting 46 × 30% · Bowling 63 × 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 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 8 matches — 0.88 per match.
- Batting
- 135 runs in 7 innings, adjusted average 24.8, strike rate 80.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 10 wickets in 7 matches bowled in (of 8 played) — 1.43 per match at 11.1, economy 1.88, strike rate 35.4.
