Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 64.3 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

2 of 4 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.

info General
Small sample size

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

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 42 × 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 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 6 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 6 matches — 0.33 per match.
Batting
72 runs in 4 innings, adjusted average 18.0, strike rate 64.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 1 wicket from 4.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 6 played) — 0.17 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
