Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 4.2 over 29 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.07 catches per match over 54 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 24% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.63.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 10 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 68 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.79 for the level played (National competition 11 · 1st grade 31 · Club 12). 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: 4 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.13 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 4.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 38 wickets in 49 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 0.78 per match at 15.0, economy 3.63, strike rate 24.8.
