Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 9.0 over 8 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

5 of 8 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 25% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.7.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.34.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 9 matches (0.89 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 62 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 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 9). 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: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 9 matches — 0.89 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 8 innings at 9.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
13 wickets in 8 matches bowled in (of 9 played) — 1.62 per match at 13.7, economy 3.34, strike rate 24.6.
