Critical recommendations
highBatting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 5.5 over 90 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
highFielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.12 catches per match over 136 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 20% 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 3.29.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 11 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.34 for the level played (2nd grade 20 · 3rd grade 15 · Club 100 · 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: 16 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 136 matches — 0.12 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 90 innings at 5.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
204 wickets in 134 matches bowled in (of 136 played) — 1.52 per match at 19.7, economy 3.29, strike rate 35.9.
