Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 10.8 over 93 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Fielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.14 catches per match over 159 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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.47.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.36 for the level played (2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 115 · Club 14 · 4th grade 29). 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: 23 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 159 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 93 innings at 10.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 282 wickets in 154 matches bowled in (of 159 played) — 1.83 per match at 15.0, economy 2.47, strike rate 36.5.
