Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 48.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
high
Fielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.14 catches per match over 96 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
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 112.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.80.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting 35 × 30% · Bowling 61 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.35 for the level played (2nd grade 10 · 3rd grade 29 · Club 41 · 4th grade 10 · 5th grade and below 6). 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: 13 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 96 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- 1,149 runs in 73 innings, adjusted average 22.0, strike rate 48.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 125 wickets in 86 matches bowled in (of 96 played) — 1.45 per match at 19.4, economy 3.80, strike rate 30.7.
