Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 31.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.00 catches per match over 17 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
Too many aerial dismissals

7 of 9 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 17 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.00 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 13 innings at 36.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 0 wickets from 5.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
