Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 52.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 2.76 is excellent but a wicket every 56 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting 46 × 30% · Bowling 12 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.59 for the level played (1st grade 11 · 2nd grade 52 · 3rd grade 18 · 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.
Fielding
Outfield: 24 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 82 matches — 0.30 per match.
Batting
1,692 runs in 86 innings, adjusted average 22.0, strike rate 52.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
27 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 82 played) — 0.33 per match at 25.7, economy 2.76, strike rate 56.0.
