- ✓ Safe hands — 30 catches in 77 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 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 77). 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 + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 77 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 52 innings at 12.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 69 wickets in 57 matches bowled in (of 77 played) — 1.21 per match at 16.8, economy 3.92, strike rate 25.8.
