Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (9 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
medium
Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par
0.43 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 34 catches in 93 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 25 run outs.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 18 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 61 × 40% · Batting 53 × 30% · Bowling 22 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (Rep Div 1 9 · Club 37). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 46 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 22 catches + 18 stumpings + 25 run outs (10 direct, 15 assisted) in 93 matches — 0.70 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,653 runs in 88 innings, adjusted average 24.8, strike rate 73.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 26 wickets in 36 matches bowled in (of 93 played) — 0.28 per match at 17.9, economy 3.81, strike rate 28.1.
