- ● Regional representative — 3 matches (+0.4)
- ● Body of work — 67 imported matches (+1.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.2 over 53 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 13% 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.
0.45 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 30 catches in 67 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 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 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 22 catches + 0 stumpings + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 67 matches — 0.36 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 53 innings at 10.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 10 wickets from 71.0 overs across 19 matches bowled in (of 67 played) — 0.15 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
