Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 9.9 over 10 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

3 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.

high Bowling
Conceding too many extras

1.0 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 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 9.2.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 11 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 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 13). 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 + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.31 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 10 innings at 9.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
16 wickets in 12 matches bowled in (of 13 played) — 1.33 per match at 9.2, economy 5.07, strike rate 10.9.
