Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 55.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

5 of 7 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 25% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 36.3.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 140.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 7 matches (0.71 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting 67 × 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
×0.30 for the level played (Club 7). 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: 5 catches + 0 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 7 matches — 0.71 dismissals per match.
Batting
