Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 6.3 over 14 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

3 of 5 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.

high Bowling
Economy under pressure

Going at 6.60 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 21% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 20 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 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 30). 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: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.23 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 14 innings at 6.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
21 wickets in 21 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 1.00 per match at 21.9, economy 6.60, strike rate 19.9.
