Critical recommendations
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.92 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 33.0.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 8 hundred(s), best of 153.
- ✓ Safe hands — 98 catches in 106 matches (0.92 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 11 run outs.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 16 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 59 × 40% · Batting 71 × 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
- ×0.88 for the level played (National competition 20 · State competition 3 · 1st grade 30 · Rep Div 1 1 · Club 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 57 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 75 catches + 16 stumpings + 11 run outs (1 direct, 10 assisted) in 106 matches — 0.96 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 3,479 runs in 112 innings, adjusted average 33.0, strike rate 65.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 20.0 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 106 played) — 0.02 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
