- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 11 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.55 for the level played (State competition 6 · 1st grade 9 · Rep Div 1 12 · Club 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 57 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 11 run outs (6 direct, 5 assisted) in 122 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 106 innings at 19.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 97 wickets in 116 matches bowled in (of 122 played) — 0.84 per match at 15.5, economy 3.38, strike rate 27.5.
