Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 8.9 over 16 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Bowling
Economy under pressure

Going at 6.46 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 22 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 22). 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: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.36 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 16 innings at 8.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 50 wickets from 84.7 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 22 played) — 5.56 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
