Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 14.8 over 24 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Bowling
Conceding too many extras

0.8 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.

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.09 catches per match over 33 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

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 19 × 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 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 27 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 3 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.18 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 24 innings at 14.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
18 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 0.58 per match at 33.7, economy 5.32, strike rate 38.0.
