Critical recommendations
Going at 5.77 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0.02 catches per match over 55 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.
34 of 47 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 4 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.04 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 53 innings at 16.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 13 wickets from 64.3 overs across 23 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 0.57 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
