Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.8 over 51 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
30 of 41 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.44 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
0.62 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 39 catches in 63 matches (0.62 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 22 run outs.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 23 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.54 for the level played (Rep Div 1 19 · Club 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 38 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 22 catches + 6 stumpings + 22 run outs (5 direct, 17 assisted) in 63 matches — 0.79 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 51 innings at 12.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 18 matches bowled in (of 63 played) — 0.24 per match at 19.5, economy 4.06, strike rate 28.8.
