Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 12.9 over 7 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

5 of 6 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.

high Bowling
Economy under pressure

Going at 5.61 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 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 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 8 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 1 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 8 matches — 0.25 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 7 innings at 12.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
8 wickets in 6 matches bowled in (of 8 played) — 1.33 per match at 25.3, economy 5.61, strike rate 27.0.
