Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 47.2 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 16% 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 (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.56 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 32 × 30%. 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 (State competition 5 · 1st grade 24 · 2nd grade 24 · Club 29). 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 + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 82 matches — 0.29 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 95 innings at 17.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
38 wickets in 50 matches bowled in (of 82 played) — 0.76 per match at 25.7, economy 3.56, strike rate 43.3.
