Critical recommendations
highBatting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
55 of 97 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
highFielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.14 catches per match over 152 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 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
mediumBatting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (11 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.5.
✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 16 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 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
×0.43 for the level played (1st grade 33 · Club 119). 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: 22 catches + 16 run outs (16 direct, 0 assisted) in 152 matches — 0.25 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 125 innings at 17.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
127 wickets in 128 matches bowled in (of 152 played) — 0.99 per match at 16.5, economy 4.31, strike rate 23.0.
