He has shown glimses of improvement with his keeping, but more is expected of him.
In fact, I couldnt make a lot of sense out of most ratings. Although overall team ratings seem justified, the standard of dishing out these ratings hasnt been maintained.

Musfiqur Rahim : He managed two ducks out of 3 innings and only scored 28 runs which were well below the expectations from everyone. His keeping was OK with occasional fumble, managed to keep his voice loud throughout the series to direct fielders the right end to throw in.
Rating : 6

Too harsh on JO. Well, he was out for a duck, but that may happen in cricket. And also this is just the second duck of his career. If its like slapping than, Ash also did it many times during his career.
On the other hand, Mushfiqur Rahim, despite two ducks and very poor wicket keeping gets 6, thanks to his loud voice behind the stumps.
