- ● Regional representative — 10 matches (+1.5)
- ● Body of work — 12 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.08 catches per match over 12 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
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 104.5) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.36.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 8 × 40% · Batting 49 × 30% · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.41 for the level played (2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 9 · Club 1 · 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: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 12 matches — 0.08 per match.
- Batting
- 179 runs in 10 innings, adjusted average 21.5, strike rate 104.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 12 wickets in 9 matches bowled in (of 12 played) — 1.33 per match at 14.2, economy 2.36, strike rate 36.0.
