Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 10.9 over 38 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

17 of 26 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 Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.21 dismissals per match across 47 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 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 47). 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: 10 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.21 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 38 innings at 10.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
39 wickets in 36 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 1.08 per match at 20.7, economy 4.97, strike rate 25.0.
