Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 45.5 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 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 38 × 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 61). 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: 19 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 61 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 60 innings at 15.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 37 wickets in 49 matches bowled in (of 61 played) — 0.76 per match at 31.8, economy 4.09, strike rate 46.6.
