Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.21 dismissals per match across 47 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.2.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 18 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 68 × 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 (3rd grade 1 · Club 39 · 4th grade 6 · 5th grade and below 1). 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: 7 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 17.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 0.86 per match at 14.2, economy 4.61, strike rate 18.5.
