Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 50.2 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 0.00 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

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.4.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.17.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.46 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 10). 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: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.00 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 14 innings at 18.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
14 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 1.08 per match at 13.4, economy 3.17, strike rate 25.3.
