Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 57.7 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 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 155.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 46 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting 66 × 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
×0.78 for the level played (1st grade 38 · 2nd grade 8). 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: 18 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.41 per match.
Batting
1,273 runs in 52 innings, adjusted average 25.9, strike rate 57.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 0 wickets from 4.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
