Critical recommendations

high Bowling
Economy under pressure

Going at 6.11 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 20% 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

0.21 dismissals per match across 24 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 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 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 1 match since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 4 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.21 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 20 innings at 20.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 9 wickets from 36.8 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 0.38 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
