Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 58.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

5 of 8 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.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 67 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 8 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 4 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 9 matches — 0.78 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 10 innings at 23.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
