Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 50.4 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 0.13 catches per match over 192 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 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 2.71 is excellent but a wicket every 45 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 8 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 25 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 25 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 192 matches — 0.15 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 183 innings at 15.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 150 wickets from 1117.8 overs across 156 matches bowled in (of 192 played) — 0.96 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
