Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 6.3 over 22 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Bowling
Conceding too many extras

0.9 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 36% 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

0.16 dismissals per match across 38 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 11 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 9 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.31 for the level played (3rd grade 1 · Club 37). 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 38 matches — 0.16 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 22 innings at 6.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
16 wickets in 36 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 0.44 per match at 45.6, economy 5.06, strike rate 54.0.
