Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 7.4 over 49 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

18 of 36 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 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 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 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 66). 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: 10 catches + 9 run outs (9 direct, 0 assisted) in 66 matches — 0.29 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 49 innings at 7.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
31 wickets in 61 matches bowled in (of 66 played) — 0.51 per match at 12.9, economy 2.20, strike rate 35.3.
