Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.4 over 31 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.23 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
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 21 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (1st grade 3 · Rep Div 1 6 · Club 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 9 catches + 0 stumpings + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.28 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 12.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 17 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 0.46 per match at 24.2, economy 4.24, strike rate 34.2.
