Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 18.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
high
Fielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.14 catches per match over 28 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 13.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.01.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 70 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (1st grade 4 · Rep Div 1 1 · 3rd grade 4 · Club 19). 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: 4 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 30 innings at 15.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 1.46 per match at 14.0, economy 3.01, strike rate 27.8.
