Critical recommendations

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.13 catches per match over 69 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.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.74 is excellent but a wicket every 50 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.74.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 6 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 28 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.78 for the level played (1st grade 33 · 2nd grade 36). 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: 9 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 69 matches — 0.14 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 67 innings at 19.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
62 wickets in 53 matches bowled in (of 69 played) — 1.17 per match at 31.4, economy 3.74, strike rate 50.3.
