Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 40.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

10 of 14 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 13 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 66 × 40% · Batting 33 × 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
×0.31 for the level played (3rd grade 1 · Club 11 · 4th grade 1). 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: 5 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.46 per match.
Batting
333 runs in 15 innings, adjusted average 23.7, strike rate 40.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 17 wickets from 78.0 overs across 6 matches bowled in (of 13 played) — 2.83 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
