Critical recommendations
high
Fielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.11 catches per match over 106 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
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 8% of 50+ scores become hundreds (11 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 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 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 5 run outs (3 direct, 2 assisted) in 106 matches — 0.16 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 97 innings at 30.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 106 played) — 0.21 per match at 22.6, economy 5.71, strike rate 23.7.
