Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 7.1 over 16 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

7 of 12 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.

high Bowling
Economy under pressure

Going at 6.52 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 10 × 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
×0.38 for the level played (National competition 6 · Club 20). 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 + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.35 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 16 innings at 7.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 9 wickets from 76.7 overs across 22 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 0.41 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
