Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 11.3 over 7 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

5 of 7 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.4.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 16 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 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 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 7 matches since 26 Oct 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 7 matches — 0.00 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 7 innings at 11.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
10 wickets in 5 matches bowled in (of 7 played) — 2.00 per match at 11.4, economy 4.22, strike rate 16.2.
