info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.45 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 36.7.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 8 hundred(s), best of 192.
- ✓ Safe hands — 41 catches in 91 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting 65 × 30% · Bowling 29 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.53 for the level played (State competition 5 · 1st grade 37 · Rep Div 1 2 · 2nd grade 10 · Club 37). 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: 41 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 91 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- 3,177 runs in 94 innings, adjusted average 36.7, strike rate 80.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 28 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 91 played) — 0.31 per match at 16.4, economy 3.13, strike rate 31.5.
