Critical recommendations
high
Fielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.14 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
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 33.2.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 106.2) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 141.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.25.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 4 × 40% · Batting 88 × 30% · Bowling 61 × 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 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 64 matches — 0.16 per match.
- Batting
- 1,928 runs in 61 innings, adjusted average 33.2, strike rate 106.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 55 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 64 played) — 1.20 per match at 21.3, economy 3.25, strike rate 39.3.
