Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 9.6 over 12 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

8 of 10 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.60 for the level played (2nd grade 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 11 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 7 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.35 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 12 innings at 9.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
26 wickets in 21 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 1.24 per match at 25.9, economy 4.55, strike rate 34.1.
