Critical recommendations

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.13 catches per match over 85 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

33 of 47 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (13 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 36.4.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 3 × 40% · Batting 64 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 28 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 10 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 85 matches — 0.12 per match.
Batting
1,930 runs in 71 innings, adjusted average 36.4, strike rate 65.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 19 wickets from 104.0 overs across 21 matches bowled in (of 85 played) — 0.22 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
