Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 13.6 over 20 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

14 of 19 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 20% 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 3.33 is excellent but a wicket every 60 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.33.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 23 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.76 for the level played (1st grade 17 · 2nd grade 7 · 3rd grade 1). 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: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.32 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 20 innings at 13.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
27 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 1.23 per match at 33.3, economy 3.33, strike rate 60.1.
