Critical recommendations

high Bowling
Conceding too many extras

0.8 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 0.13 catches per match over 64 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

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.45 for the level played (State competition 5 · Club 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 21 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 7 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 64 matches — 0.12 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 54 innings at 17.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
34 wickets in 58 matches bowled in (of 64 played) — 0.59 per match at 18.8, economy 4.30, strike rate 26.2.
