Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 5.7 over 19 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

9 of 11 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 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.7.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.81.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 27 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 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
×0.20 for the level played (5th grade and below 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: 10 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.37 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 19 innings at 5.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
68 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 2.83 per match at 14.7, economy 2.81, strike rate 31.3.
