Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 11.9 over 16 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 38% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.05 is excellent but a wicket every 47 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.05.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 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 22). 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: 7 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.41 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 16 innings at 11.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
30 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 22 played) — 1.58 per match at 24.0, economy 3.05, strike rate 47.1.
