Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 14.9 over 10 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

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

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.00 is excellent but a wicket every 47 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.00.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 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 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 6 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 9 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.30 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 10 innings at 15.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
31 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 0.97 per match at 23.6, economy 3.00, strike rate 47.2.
