Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.7 over 44 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.13 catches per match over 46 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 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 21 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 40 · 4th grade 4). 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: 6 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 44 innings at 7.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 40 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 0.45 per match at 23.5, economy 4.03, strike rate 35.0.
