Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 56.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.12 catches per match over 17 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

11 of 15 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.89 is excellent but a wicket every 52 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

info General
Bowling currently the stronger suit

Bowling average (33.9) beats batting average (27.6) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 106.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting 68 × 30% · Bowling 34 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.85 for the level played (1st grade 17). 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: 2 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.18 per match.
Batting
415 runs in 16 innings, adjusted average 27.6, strike rate 56.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
13 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 0.93 per match at 33.9, economy 3.89, strike rate 52.3.
