Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 2.6 over 11 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 27% 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 2.77 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.21 dismissals per match across 24 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.77.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.35 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 17). 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: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.21 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 11 innings at 2.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
32 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 1.45 per match at 19.6, economy 2.77, strike rate 42.4.
