info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 94.4) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 158.
- ✓ Safe hands — 51 catches in 127 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 7 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 69 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 29 catches + 7 stumpings + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 127 matches — 0.34 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 2,335 runs in 113 innings, adjusted average 23.0, strike rate 94.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 17 wickets from 55.8 overs across 16 matches bowled in (of 127 played) — 0.13 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
