Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 5.7 over 19 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 37% 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 3.69 is excellent but a wicket every 46 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.69.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.64 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 12). 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 + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.32 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 19 innings at 5.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
16 wickets in 19 matches — 0.84 per match at 28.2, economy 3.69, strike rate 45.8.
