Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 14.5 over 17 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 18% 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 3.74 is excellent but a wicket every 49 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.74.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 15 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 61 × 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
×0.30 for the level played (Rep Div 2 1 · Club 14). 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: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.47 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 17 innings at 14.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
10 wickets in 9 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 1.11 per match at 30.7, economy 3.74, strike rate 49.2.
