Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.9 over 19 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.10 catches per match over 20 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 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.29 for the level played (3rd grade 1 · 4th grade 17 · 5th grade and below 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: 2 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 19 innings at 8.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 20 played) — 1.00 per match at 21.4, economy 4.28, strike rate 29.9.
