Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 11.4 over 22 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

16 of 21 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.17 dismissals per match across 24 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 10 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 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 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 17 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.17 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 22 innings at 11.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
15 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 1.15 per match at 18.4, economy 4.87, strike rate 22.7.
