Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par
0.45 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 — 51 catches in 143 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 22 run outs.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 28 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 71 × 40% · Batting 64 × 30% · 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 37 catches + 28 stumpings + 22 run outs (3 direct, 19 assisted) in 143 matches — 0.61 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 2,742 runs in 137 innings, adjusted average 25.4, strike rate 77.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 29.2 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 143 played) — 0.06 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
