Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.68 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 34.6.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 109.
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 19 matches (0.68 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 54 × 40% · Batting 75 × 30% · 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
- ×0.85 for the level played (1st grade 19). 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: 13 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.68 per match.
- Batting
- 658 runs in 19 innings, adjusted average 34.6, strike rate 70.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 35.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 19 played) — 0.16 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
