Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 12.3 over 28 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

6 of 8 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.20 dismissals per match across 56 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 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 10 · 4th grade 6 · 5th grade and below 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 34 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 9 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.20 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 28 innings at 12.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
49 wickets in 54 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 0.91 per match at 29.1, economy 4.12, strike rate 42.4.
