Critical recommendations

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

4 of 5 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
Boundary-or-block scoring pattern

71% of runs come in boundaries yet the strike rate is modest — between boundaries the scoreboard stalls. Add strike rotation to keep bowlers from settling.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.45 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

0.40 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 3.45.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 53 × 30% · Bowling 51 × 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 10). 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: 4 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 10 matches — 0.50 per match.
Batting
143 runs in 7 innings, adjusted average 26.3, strike rate 89.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
8 wickets in 9 matches bowled in (of 10 played) — 0.89 per match at 27.9, economy 3.45, strike rate 48.5.
