Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 53.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par
0.47 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 — 21 catches in 55 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 60 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
- ×0.59 for the level played (Rep Div 1 18 · Club 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 30 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 20 catches + 6 stumpings + 7 run outs (1 direct, 6 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.60 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 50 innings at 15.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 10 wickets from 28.0 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 0.18 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
