Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 36.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

info General
Small sample size

Only 4 batting innings imported — import more of this player's matches before treating these findings as conclusive.

Strengths

  • ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 32.2 (frequently not out).
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 58 × 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 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 2 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 4 matches — 0.25 per match.
Batting
86 runs in 4 innings, adjusted average 32.3, strike rate 36.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 3 wickets from 24.0 overs across 4 matches — 0.75 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
