Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 55.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

5 of 7 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

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.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting 47 × 30% · Bowling 47 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.69 for the level played (1st grade 3 · 2nd grade 5). 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: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 8 matches — 0.50 per match.
Batting
177 runs in 9 innings, adjusted average 24.0, strike rate 55.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
8 wickets in 6 matches bowled in (of 8 played) — 1.33 per match at 26.8, economy 4.20, strike rate 38.3.
