Critical recommendations
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.
Economy of 3.25 is excellent but a wicket every 46 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 30.3.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 132.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.25.
- ✓ Safe hands — 31 catches in 74 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting 79 × 30% · Bowling 35 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.65 for the level played (1st grade 17 · 2nd grade 42 · 3rd grade 7 · 4th grade 8). 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: 31 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 74 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- 1,495 runs in 60 innings, adjusted average 30.3, strike rate 73.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 65 wickets in 63 matches bowled in (of 74 played) — 1.03 per match at 25.0, economy 3.25, strike rate 46.3.
