Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 10.7 over 47 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

21 of 41 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 11% 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 39 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 41 × 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 53). 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: 12 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.32 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 47 innings at 10.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
18 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 0.58 per match at 23.7, economy 4.80, strike rate 29.6.
