Critical recommendations
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
1.02 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 102.
- ✓ Safe hands — 104 catches in 102 matches (1.02 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 22 run outs.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 30 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 92 × 40% · Batting 62 × 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
- ×0.70 for the level played (National competition 6 · Rep Div 1 38 · 3rd grade 3 · Club 8 · 4th grade 2). 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
- Keeping: 95 catches + 30 stumpings + 22 run outs (3 direct, 19 assisted) in 102 matches — 1.44 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,994 runs in 91 innings, adjusted average 25.3, strike rate 74.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 5.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 102 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
