Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.2 over 32 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.09 catches per match over 34 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 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.38 for the level played (1st grade 4 · Club 30). 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 34 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 32 innings at 14.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 24 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 0.77 per match at 17.7, economy 3.51, strike rate 30.3.
