Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 49.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.10 catches per match over 30 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.61 is excellent but a wicket every 45 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 10 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.82 for the level played (State competition 14 · Rep Div 1 16). 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 + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.10 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 24 innings at 18.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
20 wickets in 18 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 1.11 per match at 26.9, economy 3.61, strike rate 44.7.
