Critical recommendations
high
Fielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.04 catches per match over 23 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
12 of 17 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.15.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 9 × 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 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.09 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 17.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 34 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 1.55 per match at 12.6, economy 3.15, strike rate 24.0.
