Economy under pressure
Going at 5.71 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).

Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par
0.37 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 — 36 catches in 99 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 13 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 60 × 40% · Batting 48 × 30% · 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
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 38). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 24 catches + 13 stumpings + 8 run outs (2 direct, 6 assisted) in 99 matches — 0.45 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,114 runs in 84 innings, adjusted average 17.2, strike rate 66.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 25 wickets from 87.3 overs across 37 matches bowled in (of 99 played) — 0.25 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
