Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 4.2 over 21 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
2.0 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Going at 7.25 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Out for 0 in 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.33 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
- ✓ Reliable in the field — contributes a dismissal every second match.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 70 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 7 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 10 catches + 0 stumpings + 5 run outs (3 direct, 2 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.50 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 4.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 24.0 overs across 12 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 0.33 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
