Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 20.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 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
×0.30 for the level played (Club 7 · 5th grade and below 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: 2 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 8 matches — 0.38 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 10 innings at 18.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
8 wickets in 5 matches bowled in (of 8 played) — 1.60 per match at 23.3, economy 4.13, strike rate 33.8.
