Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 3.9 over 47 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Bowling
Conceding too many extras

0.8 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.04 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 38% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 7 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.47 for the level played (National competition 10 · Club 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 40 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 72 matches — 0.04 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 47 innings at 3.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
39 wickets in 67 matches bowled in (of 72 played) — 0.58 per match at 33.6, economy 4.57, strike rate 44.2.
