Critical recommendations
high
Fielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.14 catches per match over 42 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 7 × 40% · Batting 44 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- 760 runs in 40 innings, adjusted average 23.3, strike rate 73.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 2.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 0.05 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
