Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 12.0 over 43 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.07 catches per match over 55 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

22 of 31 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 14.5.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.22.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 11 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 70 × 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 55). 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: 4 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.09 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 43 innings at 12.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
87 wickets in 52 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 1.67 per match at 14.5, economy 3.22, strike rate 27.0.
