Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 7.5 over 32 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.14 catches per match over 51 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 16.4.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 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
×0.30 for the level played (Club 15 · 4th grade 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 20 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 6 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 51 matches — 0.14 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 32 innings at 7.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
62 wickets in 43 matches bowled in (of 51 played) — 1.44 per match at 16.5, economy 3.82, strike rate 25.9.
