Critical recommendations

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 22% 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 3.21 is excellent but a wicket every 58 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.55 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 11 matches (0.55 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 40% · Batting 45 × 30% · Bowling 31 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.47 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 7). 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 + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 11 matches — 0.64 per match.
Batting
193 runs in 9 innings, adjusted average 26.2, strike rate 68.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
6 wickets in 11 matches — 0.55 per match at 31.3, economy 3.21, strike rate 58.5.
