Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 7.5 over 16 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.29 is excellent but a wicket every 54 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.20 dismissals per match across 25 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.29.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.35 for the level played (3rd grade 7 · Club 18). 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: 4 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.20 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 16 innings at 7.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
18 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 0.82 per match at 29.8, economy 3.29, strike rate 54.3.
