Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 10.4 over 20 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Fielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.10 catches per match over 29 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 10.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.78.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 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
- ×0.62 for the level played (1st grade 1 · Rep Div 1 22 · Club 6). 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 29 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 10.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 33 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 1.32 per match at 10.3, economy 2.78, strike rate 22.2.
