Critical recommendations
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.45 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 — 3 hundred(s), best of 124.
- ✓ Safe hands — 66 catches in 146 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 45 run outs.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 36 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 57 × 40% · Batting 66 × 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
- ×0.68 for the level played (State competition 19 · 1st grade 5 · Rep Div 1 13 · 2nd grade 1 · Club 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 56 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 57 catches + 36 stumpings + 45 run outs (13 direct, 32 assisted) in 146 matches — 0.95 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 2,864 runs in 142 innings, adjusted average 25.9, strike rate 74.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 11 wickets from 50.0 overs across 25 matches bowled in (of 146 played) — 0.08 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
