Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.3 over 21 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.13 catches per match over 23 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
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 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
- ×0.45 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 19). 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: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 14.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 17 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 0.85 per match at 13.1, economy 4.10, strike rate 19.1.
