info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
1.24 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 39.2.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 110.
- ✓ Safe hands — 63 catches in 51 matches (1.24 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 12 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 92 × 40% · Batting 81 × 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
- ×0.47 for the level played (Rep Div 1 14 · Club 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 56 catches + 12 stumpings + 7 run outs (2 direct, 5 assisted) in 51 matches — 1.47 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,652 runs in 49 innings, adjusted average 39.2, strike rate 81.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 32.0 overs across 6 matches bowled in (of 51 played) — 0.08 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
