Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 4.1 over 11 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.11 catches per match over 18 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 27% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 2.85 is excellent but a wicket every 75 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 28 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.67 for the level played (Rep Div 1 12 · Club 5 · 5th grade and below 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: 2 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 11 innings at 4.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 8 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 18 played) — 0.50 per match at 35.6, economy 2.85, strike rate 75.0.
