- ● Body of work — 59 imported matches (+1.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.7 over 57 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
22 of 44 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 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.47 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
0.58 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 34 catches in 59 matches (0.58 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 75 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 23 catches + 5 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 59 matches — 0.49 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 57 innings at 11.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 25 wickets from 122.7 overs across 25 matches bowled in (of 59 played) — 1.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
