Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.8 over 54 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par
0.21 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
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.48 for the level played (Rep Div 1 10 · 2nd grade 13 · Club 40). 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: 9 catches + 8 run outs (8 direct, 0 assisted) in 63 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 54 innings at 12.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 38 matches bowled in (of 63 played) — 0.61 per match at 15.6, economy 3.62, strike rate 25.9.
