Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 8.9 over 14 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

6 of 12 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 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.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.6.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.49.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 15 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 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 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
Outfield: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.47 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 14 innings at 8.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
31 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 2.21 per match at 12.6, economy 2.49, strike rate 30.3.
