Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 5.0 over 6 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

2 of 3 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 37 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 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 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 9 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 16 matches — 0.31 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 6 innings at 5.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
14 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 16 played) — 1.08 per match at 20.9, economy 3.93, strike rate 31.9.
