Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 9.1 over 89 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Bowling
Conceding too many extras

0.9 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.

high Bowling
Economy under pressure

Going at 6.43 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 14% 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 36 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 40 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 31 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 108 matches — 0.32 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 89 innings at 9.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
64 wickets in 99 matches bowled in (of 108 played) — 0.65 per match at 22.3, economy 6.43, strike rate 20.8.
