Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 45.5 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.

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

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 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 33). 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: 11 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.33 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 39 innings at 19.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
13 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 0.76 per match at 24.6, economy 3.93, strike rate 37.6.
