Critical recommendations
Only 0.08 catches per match over 25 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
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 34.9.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 111.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting 63 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 (1st grade 2 · 2nd grade 11 · 3rd grade 10 · 4th grade 2). 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: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.04 per match.
- Batting
- 780 runs in 25 innings, adjusted average 34.9, strike rate 68.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
