Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 47.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
high
Fielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.06 catches per match over 16 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 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 38 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.49 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · 2nd grade 3 · 3rd grade 5 · Club 2 · 4th grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 16 matches — 0.06 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 17.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 16 played) — 1.00 per match at 37.6, economy 4.05, strike rate 55.6.
