Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 11.9 over 140 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.07 catches per match over 220 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.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 26 × 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 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 17 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 16 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 220 matches — 0.08 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 140 innings at 11.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
179 wickets in 170 matches bowled in (of 220 played) — 1.05 per match at 22.1, economy 5.48, strike rate 24.2.
