Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.2 over 39 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.14 catches per match over 50 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 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.57.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 8 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 47 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.41 for the level played (Rep Div 1 15 · Club 34 · 4th grade 1). 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 50 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 39 innings at 12.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 56 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 50 played) — 1.22 per match at 21.2, economy 3.57, strike rate 35.7.
