Low overall fielding impact
0.20 dismissals per match across 49 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 103.2) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 110.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.14.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting 78 × 30% · Bowling 58 × 30%. 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- 1,216 runs in 47 innings, adjusted average 31.4, strike rate 103.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 70 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 1.52 per match at 16.3, economy 3.14, strike rate 31.1.
