Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 4.4 over 6 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

3 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.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.86 is excellent but a wicket every 50 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 48 × 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 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 5 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 6 matches — 0.00 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 6 innings at 4.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
6 wickets in 6 matches — 1.00 per match at 32.5, economy 3.86, strike rate 50.5.
