Critical recommendations
highBatting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.4 over 56 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
highFielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.10 catches per match over 84 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.
mediumBatting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 18.0.
✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.80.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.30 for the level played (Club 84). 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 84 matches — 0.14 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 56 innings at 11.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
57 wickets in 73 matches bowled in (of 84 played) — 0.78 per match at 18.0, economy 3.80, strike rate 28.4.
