Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 49.4 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 0.11 catches per match over 37 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 Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 10% of 50+ scores become hundreds (9 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 161.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting 56 × 30% · Bowling 38 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.62 for the level played (1st grade 6 · 2nd grade 31). 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: 4 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.22 per match.
Batting
1,224 runs in 44 innings, adjusted average 29.7, strike rate 49.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
6 wickets in 6 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 0.16 per match at 36.5, economy 4.13, strike rate 53.0.
