Critical recommendations

medium Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par

0.40 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

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 31.8.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 126.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 42 catches in 85 matches (0.49 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 13 run outs.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 13 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 57 × 40% · Batting 84 × 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
×0.38 for the level played (2nd grade 4 · 3rd grade 16 · Club 16 · 4th grade 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 40 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 21 catches + 13 stumpings + 13 run outs (1 direct, 12 assisted) in 85 matches — 0.55 dismissals per match.
Batting
2,149 runs in 81 innings, adjusted average 31.8, strike rate 85.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 4 wickets from 20.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 85 played) — 0.05 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
