Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.8 over 33 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.14 catches per match over 36 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.
Economy of 3.23 is excellent but a wicket every 51 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.23.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.62 for the level played (1st grade 5 · Rep Div 1 23 · Club 8). 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: 5 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 13.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 0.85 per match at 27.6, economy 3.23, strike rate 51.4.
