Critical recommendations

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.05 catches per match over 19 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
Too many aerial dismissals

11 of 15 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 35.2.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 103.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 9 × 40% · Batting 74 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.31 for the level played (1st grade 1 · Club 18). 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 + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.11 per match.
Batting
553 runs in 19 innings, adjusted average 35.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 7 wickets from 44.0 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 19 played) — 0.78 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
