Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 9.0 over 51 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

30 of 40 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 37 × 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 37). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 37 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 17 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 63 matches — 0.33 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 51 innings at 9.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
42 wickets in 54 matches bowled in (of 63 played) — 0.78 per match at 30.7, economy 4.50, strike rate 41.0.
