Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.69.
- ✓ Safe hands — 30 catches in 75 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.47 for the level played (1st grade 1 · 2nd grade 18 · 3rd grade 54 · 4th grade 2). 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: 30 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 75 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 62 innings at 16.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 79 wickets in 62 matches bowled in (of 75 played) — 1.27 per match at 20.5, economy 3.69, strike rate 33.3.
