Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 12.6 over 50 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Bowling
Economy under pressure

Going at 5.79 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.14 catches per match over 56 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 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 21 × 30%. 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 37). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 37 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 8 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.18 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 50 innings at 12.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
28 wickets in 49 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 0.57 per match at 23.7, economy 5.79, strike rate 24.6.
