Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 9.2 over 20 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Bowling
Economy under pressure

Going at 6.26 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

11 of 15 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 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 34 × 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 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 7 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 5 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.33 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 20 innings at 9.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
14 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 21 played) — 0.74 per match at 22.4, economy 6.26, strike rate 21.4.
