Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 7.2 over 13 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

4 of 8 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
Conceding too many extras

1.0 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.

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.12 catches per match over 26 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.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.7.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 68 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.57 for the level played (State competition 1 · 1st grade 1 · Rep Div 1 15 · 2nd grade 2 · Club 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
Fielding
Outfield: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.15 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 13 innings at 7.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
11 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 0.58 per match at 17.7, economy 3.91, strike rate 27.2.
