Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 8.8 over 35 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

19 of 29 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
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 17% 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 17.2.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 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 46). 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: 13 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.30 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 35 innings at 8.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
50 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 1.35 per match at 17.2, economy 4.23, strike rate 24.3.
