Keeping dismissal rate below par
0.48 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 35.3.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 6 hundred(s), best of 166.
- ✓ Safe hands — 46 catches in 93 matches (0.49 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 15 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 40% · Batting 83 × 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
- ×0.65 for the level played (National competition 6 · 1st grade 3 · Rep Div 1 59 · 2nd grade 3 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 30 catches + 15 stumpings + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 93 matches — 0.53 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 2,921 runs in 90 innings, adjusted average 35.3, strike rate 76.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 25.0 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 93 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
