Critical recommendations
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
1.12 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 118.
- ✓ Safe hands — 142 catches in 127 matches (1.12 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 33 run outs.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 26 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 92 × 40% · Batting 46 × 30% · 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
- ×0.63 for the level played (National competition 6 · State competition 4 · 1st grade 1 · 2nd grade 22 · 3rd grade 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 48 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 88 catches + 26 stumpings + 33 run outs (5 direct, 28 assisted) in 127 matches — 1.16 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 2,783 runs in 116 innings, adjusted average 28.3, strike rate 66.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 11 wickets from 43.0 overs across 11 matches bowled in (of 127 played) — 0.09 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
