Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 10.1 over 7 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

4 of 6 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 Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.22 is excellent but a wicket every 71 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 29 × 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
No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
Fielding
Outfield: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 7 matches — 0.00 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 7 innings at 10.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
4 wickets in 7 matches — 0.57 per match at 38.0, economy 3.22, strike rate 70.8.
