Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 9.2 over 9 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

3 of 5 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.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.44.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.44 for the level played (2nd grade 3 · 3rd grade 11 · Club 1). 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 + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.27 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 9 innings at 9.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
22 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 1.57 per match at 18.5, economy 3.44, strike rate 32.3.
