Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 14.3 over 17 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

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.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.98 is excellent but a wicket every 54 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 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 39 × 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 18). 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: 3 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.28 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 17 innings at 14.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
9 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 18 played) — 0.60 per match at 36.1, economy 3.98, strike rate 54.4.
