Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 13.3 over 64 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

35 of 58 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.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.25 for the level played (Club 29 · 4th grade 14 · 5th grade and below 23). 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: 21 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 66 matches — 0.33 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 64 innings at 13.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 10 wickets from 53.0 overs across 16 matches bowled in (of 66 played) — 0.15 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
