Critical recommendations
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.47 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 196.
- ✓ Safe hands — 62 catches in 133 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 20 run outs.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 17 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting 85 × 30% · Bowling 23 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.44 for the level played (Rep Div 1 15 · Club 21 · 4th grade 1 · 5th grade and below 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 45 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 40 catches + 20 run outs (6 direct, 14 assisted) in 133 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- 2,745 runs in 118 innings, adjusted average 29.2, strike rate 100.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 56 wickets in 89 matches bowled in (of 133 played) — 0.63 per match at 22.2, economy 4.98, strike rate 26.8.
