Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 13.7 over 11 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 2.94 is excellent but a wicket every 48 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 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 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 1 match since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 4 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 12 matches — 0.42 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 11 innings at 13.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 9 wickets from 72.0 overs across 11 matches bowled in (of 12 played) — 0.82 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
