Critical recommendations
Going at 6.64 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0.10 catches per match over 20 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.
Only 12% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Bowling average (97.3) beats batting average (44.5) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 44.5.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 119.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 9 × 40% · Batting 81 × 30% · Bowling 8 × 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 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.10 per match.
- Batting
- 685 runs in 20 innings, adjusted average 44.5, strike rate 78.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 3 wickets in 9 matches bowled in (of 20 played) — 0.33 per match at 97.3, economy 6.64, strike rate 88.0.
