Critical recommendations
high
Fielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.07 catches per match over 56 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 5 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 43 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.89 for the level played (National competition 34 · 1st grade 17 · Rep Div 1 1 · Club 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 53 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.09 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 18.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 33 wickets in 40 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 0.82 per match at 29.7, economy 4.85, strike rate 36.8.
