Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.7 over 22 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.07 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.
Out for 0 in 23% 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 3.36.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.76 for the level played (National competition 6 · Rep Div 1 18 · Club 2 · 4th grade 2). 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 + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 9.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 24 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 0.96 per match at 21.5, economy 3.36, strike rate 38.4.
