Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 47.1 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 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 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
×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 70). 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: 22 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 75 matches — 0.32 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 59 innings at 16.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 6 wickets from 22.0 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 75 played) — 0.08 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
