Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 7.1 over 55 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Fielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.06 catches per match over 100 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 7 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.38 for the level played (Rep Div 1 11 · 3rd grade 23 · Club 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 56 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 100 matches — 0.08 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 55 innings at 7.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 51 wickets in 89 matches bowled in (of 100 played) — 0.57 per match at 31.6, economy 5.45, strike rate 34.8.
