Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.3 over 12 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.11 catches per match over 19 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 2.77 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.77.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.50 for the level played (Rep Div 1 15 · Club 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: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.11 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 12 innings at 11.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 11 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 19 played) — 0.79 per match at 19.5, economy 2.77, strike rate 42.1.
