Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 14.9 over 26 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

11 of 21 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.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 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
×0.30 for the level played (Club 31). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 31 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 8 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.34 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 26 innings at 14.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
32 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 1.07 per match at 25.2, economy 3.95, strike rate 38.2.
