Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 10.9 over 7 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

5 of 6 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.

high Bowling
Economy under pressure

Going at 6.81 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 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: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 7 matches — 0.29 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 7 innings at 10.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 2 wickets from 29.7 overs across 6 matches bowled in (of 7 played) — 0.33 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
