Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 51.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

21 of 42 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 92 × 40% · Batting 48 × 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
×0.43 for the level played (2nd grade 8 · 3rd grade 49 · Club 1 · 4th grade 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.

Keeping: 95 catches + 7 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 59 matches — 1.75 dismissals per match.
