Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 7 hundred(s), best of 133.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 16 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting 58 × 30% · Bowling 32 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.34 for the level played (State competition 7 · Rep Div 1 34 · Club 283). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
Fielding
Outfield: 93 catches + 16 run outs (16 direct, 0 assisted) in 324 matches — 0.34 per match.
