Critical recommendations
Only 0.10 catches per match over 10 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 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 35.3.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 106.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.5.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting 77 × 30% · Bowling 62 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.93 for the level played (National competition 3 · State competition 7). 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: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 10 matches — 0.10 per match.
- Batting
- 318 runs in 9 innings, adjusted average 35.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 7 matches bowled in (of 10 played) — 2.14 per match at 16.5, economy 4.03, strike rate 24.6.
