Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 13.1 over 67 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

21 of 40 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.07 catches per match over 75 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 13.7.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 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 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 19 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 75 matches — 0.07 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 67 innings at 13.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
90 wickets in 71 matches bowled in (of 75 played) — 1.27 per match at 13.7, economy 3.93, strike rate 20.9.
