Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 7.0 over 60 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 113 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
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.38.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 5 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 9 · Club 102 · 4th grade 2). 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: 14 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 113 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 60 innings at 7.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 163 wickets in 111 matches bowled in (of 113 played) — 1.47 per match at 20.5, economy 3.38, strike rate 36.3.
