Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.9 over 32 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.06 catches per match over 54 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.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 10 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.33 for the level played (3rd grade 11 · Club 11 · 4th grade 32). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.11 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 32 innings at 7.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 55 wickets in 50 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 1.10 per match at 25.0, economy 4.07, strike rate 36.8.
