Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 6.3 over 45 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

19 of 36 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 22% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.95 is excellent but a wicket every 45 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.23 dismissals per match across 70 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 29 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 48 × 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 70). 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: 11 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 70 matches — 0.23 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 45 innings at 6.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
42 wickets in 60 matches bowled in (of 70 played) — 0.70 per match at 29.5, economy 3.95, strike rate 44.8.
