Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 9.6 over 12 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

6 of 9 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.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.46 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 16.6.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 13 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 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 13). 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: 6 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.54 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 12 innings at 9.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
11 wickets in 13 matches — 0.85 per match at 16.6, economy 4.05, strike rate 24.6.
