Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.96 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 73 catches in 76 matches (0.96 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 10 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
- ×0.78 for the level played (1st grade 48 · Rep Div 1 8 · 2nd grade 2 · Club 18). 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: 53 catches + 10 stumpings + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 76 matches — 0.88 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 75 innings at 18.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 20.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 76 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
