Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 11.1 over 77 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Bowling
Economy under pressure

Going at 5.73 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 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.22 dismissals per match across 85 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 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 85). 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: 17 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 85 matches — 0.22 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 77 innings at 11.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
39 wickets in 36 matches bowled in (of 85 played) — 1.08 per match at 20.2, economy 5.73, strike rate 21.1.
