Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 11.9 over 11 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

7 of 9 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.17 dismissals per match across 12 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 20 × 40% · Batting 44 × 30% · 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 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 4 matches since 30 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 12 matches — 0.17 per match.
Batting
111 runs in 11 innings, adjusted average 11.9, strike rate 68.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 8 wickets from 46.0 overs across 10 matches bowled in (of 12 played) — 0.80 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
