0.24 dismissals per match across 68 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 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 68 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 52 innings at 13.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 42 wickets in 53 matches bowled in (of 68 played) — 0.79 per match at 22.5, economy 5.21, strike rate 25.8.
