Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 10.3 over 15 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 13% 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 3.56 is excellent but a wicket every 48 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.47 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.56.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 17 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 16). 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: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.41 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 15 innings at 10.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
19 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 1.27 per match at 28.4, economy 3.56, strike rate 47.9.
