Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 11.4 over 13 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

6 of 10 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 31% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 15). 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: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.33 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 13 innings at 11.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 18 wickets from 91.5 overs across 13 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 1.38 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
