Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.52 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 32.9.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 153.
- ✓ Safe hands — 54 catches in 104 matches (0.52 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 40% · Batting 67 × 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
- ×0.84 for the level played (1st grade 101 · 2nd grade 3). 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: 54 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 104 matches — 0.56 per match.
- Batting
- 3,020 runs in 105 innings, adjusted average 32.9, strike rate 67.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 53.0 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 104 played) — 0.08 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
