info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 31 catches in 74 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 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
- ×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 2 5 · Club 69). 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: 20 catches + 4 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 74 matches — 0.34 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 58 innings at 14.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 50 wickets from 126.0 overs across 48 matches bowled in (of 74 played) — 1.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
