Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 11.9 over 69 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

31 of 61 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 Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 60 × 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 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 1 match since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 20 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 75 matches — 0.29 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 69 innings at 11.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 93 wickets from 525.8 overs across 60 matches bowled in (of 75 played) — 1.55 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
