Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 5.5 over 9 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

3 of 6 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.

high Bowling
Conceding too many extras

0.8 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 7.17 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 22% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
  • ✓ Reliable in the field — contributes a dismissal every second match.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 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
Keeping: 4 catches + 6 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.67 dismissals per match.
Batting
Not rated: 9 innings at 5.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 6 wickets from 18.0 overs across 6 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 1.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
