Critical recommendations

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 13% 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 3.20 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.20.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 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 43). 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 43 matches — 0.33 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 47 innings at 16.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
51 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 1.59 per match at 22.6, economy 3.20, strike rate 42.4.
