Critical recommendations
high
Fielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.08 catches per match over 26 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 15.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.70.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 5 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 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 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.08 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 16 innings at 17.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 21 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 1.05 per match at 15.8, economy 3.70, strike rate 25.6.
