Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 12.6 over 38 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 43 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.38 for the level played (National competition 5 · 1st grade 5 · Club 48). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
Fielding
Outfield: 17 catches + 6 run outs (6 direct, 0 assisted) in 58 matches — 0.40 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 38 innings at 12.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
72 wickets in 56 matches bowled in (of 58 played) — 1.29 per match at 25.1, economy 3.94, strike rate 38.2.
