Critical recommendations
high
Fielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.08 catches per match over 24 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
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.55 is excellent but a wicket every 40 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
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 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 1 match since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.08 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 20.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 16 wickets from 107.7 overs across 17 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 0.94 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
