Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 59.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

34 of 67 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.11 catches per match over 98 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 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 33 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.43 for the level played (Rep Div 1 18 · 2nd grade 18 · 3rd grade 6 · Club 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 58 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 11 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 98 matches — 0.15 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 89 innings at 15.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
30 wickets in 60 matches bowled in (of 98 played) — 0.50 per match at 26.3, economy 4.93, strike rate 32.1.
