Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 7.0 over 73 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 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 142). 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: 33 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 142 matches — 0.26 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 73 innings at 7.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
168 wickets in 139 matches bowled in (of 142 played) — 1.21 per match at 23.2, economy 4.61, strike rate 30.1.
