info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.43 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 39 catches in 90 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 41 × 30%. 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 (Rep Div 1 20 · Rep Div 2 14 · Club 56). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 22 catches + 6 stumpings + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 90 matches — 0.36 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 67 innings at 12.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 50 matches bowled in (of 90 played) — 0.60 per match at 12.7, economy 2.70, strike rate 28.3.
