Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 12.8 over 95 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

53 of 66 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.13 is excellent but a wicket every 47 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.13.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 30 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.72 for the level played (1st grade 74 · 2nd grade 55). 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: 35 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 129 matches — 0.28 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 95 innings at 12.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
199 wickets in 123 matches bowled in (of 129 played) — 1.62 per match at 24.4, economy 3.13, strike rate 46.7.
