Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.9 over 21 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.12 catches per match over 33 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.
Economy of 3.89 is excellent but a wicket every 48 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 34 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 31). 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: 4 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 10.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 20 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 0.65 per match at 30.9, economy 3.89, strike rate 47.7.
