Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 60.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

14 of 19 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 8.1.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.01.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 16 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 78 × 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 24). 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: 6 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.33 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 22 innings at 25.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
24 wickets in 12 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 2.00 per match at 8.1, economy 3.01, strike rate 16.1.
