Keeping dismissal rate below par
0.44 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 35.1.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 114.2) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 18 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting 63 × 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 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 6 catches + 2 stumpings + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.61 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 405 runs in 14 innings, adjusted average 35.1, strike rate 114.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
