Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 54.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

3 of 5 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.

medium Batting
Boundary-or-block scoring pattern

70% of runs come in boundaries yet the strike rate is modest — between boundaries the scoreboard stalls. Add strike rotation to keep bowlers from settling.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 54 × 40% · Batting 59 × 30% · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×1.00 for the level played (National competition 6). 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: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 6 matches — 0.33 per match.
Batting
91 runs in 6 innings, adjusted average 17.7, strike rate 54.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
21 wickets in 5 matches bowled in (of 6 played) — 4.20 per match at 21.1, economy 3.84, strike rate 33.0.
