Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 52.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.21 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 21 × 40% · Batting 53 × 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
- ×0.50 for the level played (Rep Div 1 17 · Club 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 10 catches + 2 stumpings + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 58 matches — 0.26 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 890 runs in 53 innings, adjusted average 22.5, strike rate 52.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 12 wickets from 49.0 overs across 19 matches bowled in (of 58 played) — 0.21 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
