Critical recommendations

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.10 catches per match over 59 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
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 11% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 115.
  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.5.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.74.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 11 × 40% · Batting 46 × 30% · Bowling 67 × 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 29). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 29 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 6 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 59 matches — 0.12 per match.
Batting
1,355 runs in 61 innings, adjusted average 24.4, strike rate 65.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
52 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 59 played) — 1.24 per match at 16.5, economy 3.74, strike rate 26.6.
