Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.8 over 40 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.16 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
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 12 run outs.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 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
- ×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 30 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 2 catches + 5 stumpings + 12 run outs (3 direct, 9 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.42 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 40 innings at 14.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 22.0 overs across 11 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
