Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 11.8 over 86 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.81 for the level played (1st grade 145 · 2nd grade 27). 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: 46 catches + 6 run outs (6 direct, 0 assisted) in 172 matches — 0.30 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 86 innings at 11.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
137 wickets in 154 matches bowled in (of 172 played) — 0.89 per match at 25.2, economy 4.69, strike rate 32.2.
