Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

31 of 39 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

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.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 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 45). 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: 14 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.31 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 43 innings at 19.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
36 wickets in 34 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 1.06 per match at 25.5, economy 5.07, strike rate 30.1.
