Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 9.5 over 29 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

9 of 18 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.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.22 dismissals per match across 36 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 16 × 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 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 10 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 6 catches + 1 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.19 dismissals per match.
Batting
Not rated: 29 innings at 9.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 0 wickets from 7.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
