info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.52 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 125.
- ✓ Safe hands — 37 catches in 71 matches (0.52 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 14 run outs.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 23 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 73 × 40% · Batting 63 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 26 catches + 23 stumpings + 14 run outs (2 direct, 12 assisted) in 71 matches — 0.89 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,459 runs in 66 innings, adjusted average 25.8, strike rate 77.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 10.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 71 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
