Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.5 over 28 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.10 catches per match over 31 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 25% 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 13.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.70.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.49 for the level played (1st grade 2 · Rep Div 1 8 · Club 21). 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 + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 31 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 8.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 31 matches — 0.71 per match at 13.3, economy 2.70, strike rate 29.5.
