  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 14 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting 73 × 30% · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · Club 34). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 37 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.

Outfield: 107 catches + 14 run outs (13 direct, 1 assisted) in 317 matches — 0.38 per match.

8,639 runs in 318 innings, adjusted average 30.2, strike rate 59.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
