Critical recommendations

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.13 catches per match over 15 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

3 of 4 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.6.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.12.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 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 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 12 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.13 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 10 innings at 17.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
21 wickets in 15 matches — 1.40 per match at 16.6, economy 3.12, strike rate 32.0.
