Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 3.8 over 7 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Bowling
Economy under pressure

Going at 6.04 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

3 of 3 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 52 × 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 9). 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: 4 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 9 matches — 0.56 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 7 innings at 3.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 6 wickets from 27.0 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 9 played) — 0.86 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
