Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.6 over 83 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par
0.33 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.43 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 38 catches in 89 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 11 run outs.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 11 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 48 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.35 for the level played (Rep Div 1 18 · Club 71). 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: 20 catches + 11 run outs (11 direct, 0 assisted) in 89 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 83 innings at 14.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 50 wickets in 57 matches bowled in (of 89 played) — 0.88 per match at 17.3, economy 3.63, strike rate 28.7.
