Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 9.8 over 36 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.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.21 dismissals per match across 43 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 25 × 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 43). 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 + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.21 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 36 innings at 9.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
19 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 0.49 per match at 18.8, economy 3.98, strike rate 28.4.
