Low overall fielding impact
0.18 dismissals per match across 55 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 29). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 45 innings at 15.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 52 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 1.13 per match at 20.6, economy 4.82, strike rate 25.6.
