Critical recommendations
1.3 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.
Only 0.00 catches per match over 16 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.
4 of 5 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 30.1 (frequently not out).
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 93.3) without sacrificing consistency.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 7 × 40% · Batting 60 × 30% · Bowling 45 × 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: 0 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 16 matches — 0.06 per match.
- Batting
- 228 runs in 12 innings, adjusted average 30.1, strike rate 93.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 9 wickets in 12 matches bowled in (of 16 played) — 0.75 per match at 30.0, economy 4.64, strike rate 38.8.
