Critical recommendations

high Bowling
Economy under pressure

Going at 6.35 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.14 catches per match over 103 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
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 20 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 40 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 14 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 103 matches — 0.16 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 87 innings at 24.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
90 wickets in 77 matches bowled in (of 103 played) — 1.17 per match at 21.1, economy 6.35, strike rate 19.9.
