Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 6.2 over 95 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Fielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.08 catches per match over 137 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.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
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
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.42.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 6 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 40 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (2nd grade 6 · 3rd grade 42 · Club 8 · 4th grade 44 · 5th grade and below 37). 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: 11 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 137 matches — 0.09 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 95 innings at 6.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 192 wickets in 131 matches bowled in (of 137 played) — 1.47 per match at 22.4, economy 3.42, strike rate 39.3.
