Critical recommendations
13 of 23 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.
Out for 0 in 24% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.35 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
0.48 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 101.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.54.
- ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 23 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting 59 × 30% · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 8 catches + 0 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.35 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 483 runs in 25 innings, adjusted average 20.9, strike rate 78.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
