Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 14.5 over 29 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.18 dismissals per match across 34 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 32 × 30% · 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 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 3 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.12 per match.
Batting
358 runs in 29 innings, adjusted average 14.5, strike rate 72.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 3 wickets from 18.7 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 0.09 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
