Critical recommendations
high
Fielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.12 catches per match over 42 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 11% 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 14.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.18.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 9 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 68 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (Rep Div 1 10 · Club 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: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.12 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 15.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 38 wickets in 42 matches — 0.90 per match at 14.3, economy 3.18, strike rate 27.0.
