Critical recommendations

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.10 catches per match over 163 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.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (16 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.29.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 8 × 40% · Batting 51 × 30% · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.28 for the level played (3rd grade 3 · Club 17 · 4th grade 134 · 5th grade and below 9). 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: 17 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 163 matches — 0.12 per match.
Batting
3,199 runs in 166 innings, adjusted average 20.2, strike rate 89.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
151 wickets in 142 matches bowled in (of 163 played) — 1.06 per match at 21.7, economy 3.29, strike rate 39.6.
