Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 45.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 90 × 40% · Batting 42 × 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
×0.48 for the level played (2nd grade 6 · 3rd grade 13). 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.
