Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 36 catches in 56 matches (0.64 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 56). 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
- Keeping: 22 catches + 4 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.46 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 53 innings at 15.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 6 wickets from 50.0 overs across 14 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 0.11 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
