Critical recommendations
Only 0.07 catches per match over 15 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.
Only 2 batting innings imported — import more of this player's matches before treating these findings as conclusive.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 7.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.60.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 12 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 69 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.87 for the level played (National competition 6 · Club 9). 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 15 matches — 0.07 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 2 innings at 4.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 10 wickets in 9 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 1.11 per match at 7.5, economy 3.60, strike rate 12.5.
