Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.19 dismissals per match across 52 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 92.9) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 159.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 60 × 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
- ×0.40 for the level played (Rep Div 1 12 · Club 40). 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: 9 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- 1,231 runs in 49 innings, adjusted average 26.2, strike rate 92.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 2.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 52 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
