Critical recommendations

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

8 of 15 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.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.40 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 10.2.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.70.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 15 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 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 15). 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: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.33 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 16 innings at 17.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
31 wickets in 12 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 2.58 per match at 10.2, economy 2.70, strike rate 22.6.
