Critical recommendations
Only 0.11 catches per match over 64 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 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.12.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 6 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.51 for the level played (1st grade 7 · Rep Div 1 12 · 2nd grade 10 · 3rd grade 27 · 4th grade 8). 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: 7 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 64 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 48 innings at 15.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 93 wickets in 58 matches bowled in (of 64 played) — 1.60 per match at 18.3, economy 3.12, strike rate 35.1.
