Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 40.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.19 dismissals per match across 48 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.24 for the level played (Club 20 · 5th grade and below 28). 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: 9 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.19 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 52 innings at 19.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
12 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 0.25 per match at 29.3, economy 4.58, strike rate 38.3.
