Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 52.3 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 not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
×0.53 for the level played (National competition 13 · Club 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 60 catches + 9 run outs (7 direct, 2 assisted) in 227 matches — 0.30 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 224 innings at 24.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 29 wickets from 101.0 overs across 27 matches bowled in (of 227 played) — 0.13 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
