Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 12.3 over 5 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Bowling
Conceding too many extras

1.4 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.

high Bowling
Economy under pressure

Going at 5.56 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 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 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 5 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 5 matches — 0.60 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 5 innings at 12.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 3 wickets from 13.7 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 5 played) — 0.60 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
