Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 4.1 over 40 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 28% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.15 dismissals per match across 54 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 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 30 × 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 54). 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: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.15 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 40 innings at 4.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
37 wickets in 47 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 0.79 per match at 35.7, economy 4.52, strike rate 47.4.
