Critical recommendations

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 31% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.22 dismissals per match across 18 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.5.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.34.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting 33 × 30% · Bowling 63 × 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 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 + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.22 per match.
Batting
376 runs in 16 innings, adjusted average 25.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
13 wickets in 11 matches bowled in (of 18 played) — 1.18 per match at 17.5, economy 3.34, strike rate 31.5.
