  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 21 run outs.
  • ✓ Reliable in the field — contributes a dismissal every second match.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.46 for the level played (2nd grade 18 · 3rd grade 24 · Club 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 51 matches since 2 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 39 catches + 21 run outs (11 direct, 10 assisted) in 115 matches — 0.52 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 104 innings at 17.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
163 wickets in 107 matches bowled in (of 115 played) — 1.52 per match at 18.4, economy 3.60, strike rate 30.6.
