Critical recommendations

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

2 of 3 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.

info General
Small sample size

Only 4 batting innings imported — import more of this player's matches before treating these findings as conclusive.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 39 × 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: 1 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 9 matches — 0.22 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 4 innings at 7.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
6 wickets in 8 matches bowled in (of 9 played) — 0.75 per match at 32.8, economy 5.30, strike rate 37.2.
