Keeping dismissal rate below par
0.35 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
0.50 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 34 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 34 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6 · Club 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 11 catches + 1 stumpings + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.44 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 19.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 12 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 0.44 per match at 23.9, economy 4.71, strike rate 30.5.
