Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 5.9 over 31 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

11 of 14 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

0.18 dismissals per match across 38 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.9.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.39.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 7 × 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 38). 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: 6 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.18 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 31 innings at 5.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
54 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 1.54 per match at 13.9, economy 2.39, strike rate 34.9.
