Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 7.8 over 67 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

36 of 64 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.

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 Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.20 dismissals per match across 84 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 71 × 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 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 6 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 15 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 84 matches — 0.20 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 67 innings at 7.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
83 wickets in 78 matches bowled in (of 84 played) — 1.06 per match at 23.5, economy 4.10, strike rate 34.4.
