info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 165.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.40.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 33 catches in 80 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting 48 × 30% · Bowling 74 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (1st grade 11 · Rep Div 1 1 · Club 68). 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: 33 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 80 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- 1,584 runs in 69 innings, adjusted average 25.6, strike rate 67.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 149 wickets in 69 matches bowled in (of 80 played) — 2.16 per match at 12.2, economy 3.40, strike rate 21.6.
