Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 7.6 over 13 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 23% 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 2.84 is excellent but a wicket every 56 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.73 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 2.84.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 11 matches (0.73 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 61 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.23 for the level played (4th grade 6 · 5th grade and below 5). 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: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 11 matches — 0.55 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 13 innings at 7.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
13 wickets in 8 matches bowled in (of 11 played) — 1.62 per match at 26.5, economy 2.84, strike rate 55.8.
