Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 14.9 over 50 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

23 of 44 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 Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.14 catches per match over 56 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

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 47 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.77 for the level played (1st grade 14 · 2nd grade 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 21 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 8 catches + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.23 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 50 innings at 14.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
37 wickets in 52 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 0.71 per match at 23.0, economy 4.71, strike rate 29.4.
