Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 48.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

22 of 44 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.20 dismissals per match across 45 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 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 44). 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: 9 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.20 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 48 innings at 25.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 6 wickets from 31.3 overs across 10 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 0.13 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
