Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 12.8 over 19 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.29 is excellent but a wicket every 59 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 9 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 13 × 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 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 9 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 4 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.29 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 19 innings at 12.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
19 wickets in 21 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 0.90 per match at 32.2, economy 3.29, strike rate 58.7.
