Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
1.13 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 15 matches (1.13 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 44 × 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
- ×0.40 for the level played (1st grade 1 · 2nd grade 5 · 3rd grade 4 · 4th grade 5). 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
- Keeping: 15 catches + 3 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 1.20 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 369 runs in 17 innings, adjusted average 23.0, strike rate 70.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 1.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
