Critical recommendations
5 of 10 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.
74% of runs come in boundaries yet the strike rate is modest — between boundaries the scoreboard stalls. Add strike rotation to keep bowlers from settling.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting 42 × 30% · Bowling 14 × 30%. 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 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 1 Nov 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 12 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- 212 runs in 11 innings, adjusted average 21.0, strike rate 70.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 4 wickets in 10 matches bowled in (of 12 played) — 0.40 per match at 69.8, economy 5.07, strike rate 82.5.
