Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 13.4 over 117 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.12 catches per match over 147 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

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.1.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.31.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 13 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 9 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.42 for the level played (Rep Div 1 11 · Club 34). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 45 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 17 catches + 13 run outs (5 direct, 8 assisted) in 147 matches — 0.20 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 117 innings at 13.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
131 wickets in 145 matches bowled in (of 147 played) — 0.90 per match at 17.1, economy 3.31, strike rate 31.0.
