Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.0 over 51 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
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.
0.45 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 27 catches in 60 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 11 run outs.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 8 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 18 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.40 for the level played (Rep Div 1 8 · Club 32). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 21 catches + 8 stumpings + 11 run outs (1 direct, 10 assisted) in 60 matches — 0.67 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 51 innings at 12.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 60 played) — 0.35 per match at 13.8, economy 5.27, strike rate 15.7.
