Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 62.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

high Bowling
Conceding too many extras

1.1 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.04 catches per match over 52 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

  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 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
×0.20 for the level played (Club 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 0 catches + 7 run outs (3 direct, 4 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.13 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 52 innings at 17.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
36 wickets in 51 matches bowled in (of 52 played) — 0.71 per match at 18.4, economy 5.02, strike rate 22.0.
