Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 9.6 over 20 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 20% 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

0.24 dismissals per match across 37 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 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 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 37). 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: 8 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.24 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 20 innings at 9.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
23 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 0.70 per match at 28.0, economy 4.49, strike rate 37.3.
