Critical recommendations
highBatting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 51.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
mediumBatting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
mediumBatting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 10% of 50+ scores become hundreds (17 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 76 × 40% · Batting 47 × 30% · 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
×0.55 for the level played (1st grade 79 · Rep Div 1 4 · 2nd grade 50 · 3rd grade 4 · Club 34). 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
Keeping: 139 catches + 13 stumpings + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 171 matches — 0.92 dismissals per match.
Batting
3,763 runs in 191 innings, adjusted average 21.4, strike rate 51.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
