Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 10.1 over 22 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.24 dismissals per match across 37 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 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 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 16 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 8 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.24 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 22 innings at 10.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
37 wickets in 34 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 1.09 per match at 23.0, economy 4.11, strike rate 33.5.
