Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 7.5 over 30 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

8 of 16 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.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.45 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.0.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.47.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 24 catches in 53 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 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 53). 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: 13 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.26 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 30 innings at 7.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
48 wickets in 36 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 1.33 per match at 17.0, economy 3.47, strike rate 29.5.
