Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 2.8 over 13 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Bowling
Conceding too many extras

1.0 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.14 catches per match over 14 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 46% 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 39 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 14 × 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 14). 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: 2 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 14 matches — 0.36 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 13 innings at 2.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
5 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 14 played) — 0.38 per match at 47.2, economy 4.82, strike rate 58.8.
