Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 8.2 over 6 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Bowling
Conceding too many extras

1.3 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

5 of 6 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 12.4.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 14 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 9 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 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 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 9 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 9 matches — 0.11 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 6 innings at 8.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
10 wickets in 5 matches bowled in (of 9 played) — 2.00 per match at 12.4, economy 5.24, strike rate 14.2.
