Critical recommendations

high Bowling
Economy under pressure

Going at 5.53 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.13 catches per match over 16 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
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 30.9.
  • ✓ Scores quickly (SR 131.6) without sacrificing consistency.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting 67 × 30% · Bowling 40 × 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 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 2 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 16 matches — 0.38 per match.
Batting
465 runs in 16 innings, adjusted average 30.9, strike rate 131.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
8 wickets in 12 matches bowled in (of 16 played) — 0.67 per match at 27.6, economy 5.53, strike rate 30.0.
