Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 15.0 over 40 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 15% 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 3.87 is excellent but a wicket every 50 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 31 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.52 for the level played (1st grade 2 · 2nd grade 24 · 3rd grade 19 · 4th grade 2). 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: 14 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.30 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 40 innings at 15.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
64 wickets in 47 matches — 1.36 per match at 32.1, economy 3.87, strike rate 49.9.
