Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 9.7 over 81 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 17% 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

0.23 dismissals per match across 87 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 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 40 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.32 for the level played (3rd grade 15 · Club 49 · 4th grade 15 · 5th grade and below 8). 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: 19 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 87 matches — 0.23 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 81 innings at 9.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
44 wickets in 53 matches bowled in (of 87 played) — 0.83 per match at 21.7, economy 3.80, strike rate 34.3.
