Critical recommendations
high
Fielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.10 catches per match over 73 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
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 10 × 40% · Batting 43 × 30% · Bowling 51 × 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 73). 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: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 73 matches — 0.10 per match.
- Batting
- 785 runs in 60 innings, adjusted average 15.5, strike rate 70.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 60 wickets in 54 matches bowled in (of 73 played) — 1.11 per match at 22.5, economy 4.68, strike rate 28.8.
