Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 39.4 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 0.14 catches per match over 71 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 3.30 is excellent but a wicket every 40 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.30.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.45 for the level played (1st grade 8 · Rep Div 1 15 · 2nd grade 9 · 3rd grade 5 · Club 34). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
Fielding
Outfield: 10 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 71 matches — 0.14 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 72 innings at 16.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
45 wickets in 48 matches bowled in (of 71 played) — 0.94 per match at 22.2, economy 3.30, strike rate 40.4.
