Critical recommendations
high
Fielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.12 catches per match over 84 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.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.57 for the level played (National competition 6 · 1st grade 16 · Rep Div 1 17 · 2nd grade 12 · Club 33). 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: 10 catches + 9 run outs (9 direct, 0 assisted) in 84 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 67 innings at 19.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 51 wickets in 74 matches bowled in (of 84 played) — 0.69 per match at 23.1, economy 4.21, strike rate 33.0.
