Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 5.1 over 10 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Bowling
Conceding too many extras

1.0 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 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 28 Oct 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 11 matches — 0.36 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 10 innings at 5.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
6 wickets in 10 matches bowled in (of 11 played) — 0.60 per match at 23.8, economy 4.93, strike rate 29.0.
