Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 47.5 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 11.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.01.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 75 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.46 for the level played (Rep Div 1 15 · 2nd grade 3 · 3rd grade 5 · Club 12). 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 + 6 run outs (6 direct, 0 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 16.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 33 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 1.10 per match at 11.1, economy 3.01, strike rate 22.2.
