Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 51.8 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 12% 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 (6 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 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 30%. 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 (National competition 10 · Club 90). 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: 30 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 100 matches — 0.31 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 86 innings at 21.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
52 wickets in 54 matches bowled in (of 100 played) — 0.96 per match at 23.8, economy 4.69, strike rate 30.4.
