medium
Fielding

How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 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 (3rd grade 2 · 4th grade 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 5 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 66 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 45 innings at 8.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 129 wickets in 60 matches bowled in (of 66 played) — 2.15 per match at 19.5, economy 2.99, strike rate 39.1.
