- ● Body of work — 21 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.14 catches per match over 21 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.
10 of 12 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Economy of 2.42 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 33.8.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 102.0) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.42.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting 59 × 30% · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (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 + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- 432 runs in 16 innings, adjusted average 33.8, strike rate 102.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 18 matches bowled in (of 21 played) — 1.06 per match at 16.5, economy 2.42, strike rate 41.1.
