Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 58.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

11 of 15 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 (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 41.6.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting 76 × 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
×0.88 for the level played (National competition 6 · 1st grade 7). 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: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.31 per match.
Batting
633 runs in 17 innings, adjusted average 41.6, strike rate 58.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 3 wickets from 9.7 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 13 played) — 0.23 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
