Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 14.0 over 51 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

22 of 40 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 Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.37 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · 2nd grade 12 · Club 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: 18 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 72 matches — 0.25 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 51 innings at 14.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
78 wickets in 59 matches bowled in (of 72 played) — 1.32 per match at 21.5, economy 4.46, strike rate 28.9.
