- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 41 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 77 × 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 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 4 run outs (3 direct, 1 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 16 innings at 24.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 38 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 1.58 per match at 10.6, economy 3.02, strike rate 21.1.
