- ● Regional representative — 7 matches (+1.1)
- ● Body of work — 47 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.09 catches per match over 47 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.
Economy of 3.26 is excellent but a wicket every 52 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.26.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 8 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.44 for the level played (1st grade 8 · 2nd grade 19 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 18). 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: 4 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.11 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 54 innings at 22.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 35 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 0.95 per match at 28.4, economy 3.26, strike rate 52.3.
