Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 7.6 over 6 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
4 of 4 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 2 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 5 matches — 0.00 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 6 innings at 7.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 52.0 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 5 played) — 1.60 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
