Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 14.7 over 64 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 12% 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 3.96 is excellent but a wicket every 46 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 37 × 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 (2nd grade 9 · 3rd grade 6 · Club 3 · 4th grade 34 · 5th grade and below 16). 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: 22 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 68 matches — 0.38 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 64 innings at 14.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
66 wickets in 61 matches bowled in (of 68 played) — 1.08 per match at 30.3, economy 3.96, strike rate 45.9.
