Critical recommendations
highBatting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 10.5 over 88 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
highFielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.13 catches per match over 135 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.
mediumBatting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
mediumBowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.62 is excellent but a wicket every 44 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.62.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.30 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 134). 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: 18 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 135 matches — 0.13 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 88 innings at 10.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
151 wickets in 128 matches bowled in (of 135 played) — 1.18 per match at 26.8, economy 3.62, strike rate 44.5.
