- ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 18 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 12.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 18 played) — 1.53 per match at 15.7, economy 4.66, strike rate 20.3.
