Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 51.4 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 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (11 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.22 dismissals per match across 97 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 20 × 40% · Batting 62 × 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
×0.58 for the level played (1st grade 48 · Rep Div 1 1 · 2nd grade 29 · 3rd grade 8 · 4th grade 7 · 5th grade and below 4). 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: 19 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 97 matches — 0.22 per match.
Batting
2,090 runs in 104 innings, adjusted average 21.5, strike rate 51.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 12 wickets from 43.7 overs across 11 matches bowled in (of 97 played) — 0.12 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
