Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 14.1 over 125 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par

0.32 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

0.45 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.8.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.51.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 68 catches in 151 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 8 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 146). 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
Keeping: 40 catches + 8 stumpings + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 151 matches — 0.34 dismissals per match.
Batting
Not rated: 125 innings at 14.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
80 wickets in 74 matches bowled in (of 151 played) — 1.08 per match at 13.8, economy 3.51, strike rate 23.5.
