  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 14 hundred(s), best of 189.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 153 catches in 315 matches (0.49 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 13 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 40% · Batting 81 × 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
×0.76 for the level played (National competition 73 · State competition 24 · 1st grade 132 · Rep Div 1 28 · 2nd grade 30 · 3rd grade 5 · Club 23). 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
Outfield: 151 catches + 13 run outs (13 direct, 0 assisted) in 315 matches — 0.52 per match.
Batting
9,998 runs in 336 innings, adjusted average 32.7, strike rate 65.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 31 wickets from 238.3 overs across 64 matches bowled in (of 315 played) — 0.10 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
