Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.8 over 80 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Fielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.10 catches per match over 81 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.45.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.58 for the level played (Rep Div 1 33 · Club 47 · 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: 8 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 81 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 80 innings at 13.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 42 wickets in 53 matches bowled in (of 81 played) — 0.79 per match at 13.6, economy 3.45, strike rate 23.6.
