Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par
0.38 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
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 32.1.
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 37 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting 64 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 33 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 9 catches + 5 stumpings + 5 run outs (0 direct, 5 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.51 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 888 runs in 32 innings, adjusted average 32.1, strike rate 68.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 16.0 overs across 6 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 0.03 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
