Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.3 over 76 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.10 catches per match over 77 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 10.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.40.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.57 for the level played (State competition 5 · 1st grade 4 · Rep Div 1 10 · Club 58). 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: 8 catches + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 77 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 76 innings at 14.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 65 wickets in 76 matches bowled in (of 77 played) — 0.86 per match at 10.5, economy 2.40, strike rate 26.3.
