Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 14.0 over 63 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.13 catches per match over 80 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.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.4.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 17 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 11 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 70 × 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 80). 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: 10 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 80 matches — 0.16 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 63 innings at 14.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
71 wickets in 62 matches bowled in (of 80 played) — 1.15 per match at 11.4, economy 4.07, strike rate 16.8.
