Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.6 over 41 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.10 catches per match over 52 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 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.64 is excellent but a wicket every 53 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 7 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 29 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (1st grade 2 · 3rd grade 9 · Club 41). 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 + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.10 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 41 innings at 9.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 34 wickets in 49 matches bowled in (of 52 played) — 0.69 per match at 32.4, economy 3.64, strike rate 53.3.
