0.23 dismissals per match across 57 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 50 × 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
- ×0.29 for the level played (4th grade 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 3 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 57 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- 346 runs in 32 innings, adjusted average 15.2, strike rate 74.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 44 wickets from 258.8 overs across 52 matches bowled in (of 57 played) — 0.85 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
