Critical recommendations

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.74 is excellent but a wicket every 94 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting 54 × 30% · Bowling 23 × 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 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 8 matches since 28 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 9 matches — 0.22 per match.
Batting
188 runs in 9 innings, adjusted average 23.2, strike rate 86.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
3 wickets in 6 matches bowled in (of 9 played) — 0.50 per match at 58.7, economy 3.74, strike rate 94.0.
