Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 7.6 over 18 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.0.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 30 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 30%. 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 30). 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: 11 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.47 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 18 innings at 7.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
54 wickets in 30 matches — 1.80 per match at 16.0, economy 4.23, strike rate 22.7.
