Critical recommendations
highBatting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.9 over 49 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
mediumBatting
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.
mediumBowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.50 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 41 × 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 64). 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: 16 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 64 matches — 0.28 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 49 innings at 14.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
34 wickets in 55 matches bowled in (of 64 played) — 0.62 per match at 23.7, economy 3.50, strike rate 40.6.
