Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 61.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 56 × 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
×0.30 for the level played (Club 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 3 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 11 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.34 per match.
Batting
687 runs in 34 innings, adjusted average 22.6, strike rate 61.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 48 wickets from 211.3 overs across 34 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 1.41 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
