Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 51.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

28 of 38 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

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.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 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
×0.47 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · 3rd grade 8 · 4th grade 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 20 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 10 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.29 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 43 innings at 25.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 2 wickets from 25.0 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 0.05 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
