Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 59.5 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

2 of 4 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 Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 2.29 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

info General

Only 4 batting innings imported — import more of this player's matches before treating these findings as conclusive.

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting 71 × 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 5). 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: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 5 matches — 0.60 per match.
Batting
155 runs in 4 innings, adjusted average 38.8, strike rate 59.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 2 wickets from 14.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 5 played) — 0.40 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
