Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 64.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 57 × 40% · Batting 59 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 64). 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
Keeping: 36 catches + 6 stumpings + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 64 matches — 0.72 dismissals per match.
Batting
1,801 runs in 63 innings, adjusted average 30.4, strike rate 64.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 8 wickets from 77.0 overs across 13 matches bowled in (of 64 played) — 0.12 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
