Critical recommendations

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par

0.07 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

  • ✓ Safe hands — 84 catches in 215 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
×0.42 for the level played (3rd grade 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 4 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 74 catches + 10 run outs (8 direct, 2 assisted) in 215 matches — 0.39 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 205 innings at 22.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 89 wickets from 421.3 overs across 118 matches bowled in (of 215 played) — 0.75 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
