Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 56.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

5 of 10 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 0.13 catches per match over 15 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

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.79.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 11 × 40% · Batting 42 × 30% · Bowling 58 × 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 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 13 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 2 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.20 per match.
Batting
266 runs in 13 innings, adjusted average 25.2, strike rate 56.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
16 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 1.23 per match at 19.3, economy 3.79, strike rate 30.5.
