Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 44.1 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

31 of 58 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 0.11 catches per match over 72 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.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 4 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 22 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.74 for the level played (1st grade 27 · Rep Div 1 5 · 2nd grade 2 · Club 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 37 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 7 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 72 matches — 0.12 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 69 innings at 15.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
15 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 72 played) — 0.21 per match at 44.0, economy 5.44, strike rate 48.5.
