Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.4 over 33 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.04 catches per match over 49 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 24% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 2.80 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 41 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 49). 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 + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.04 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 7.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 38 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 0.50 per match at 20.1, economy 2.80, strike rate 42.9.
