info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
1.19 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 — 2 hundred(s), best of 104.
- ✓ Safe hands — 107 catches in 90 matches (1.19 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 16 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 54 × 40% · Batting 58 × 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
- ×0.57 for the level played (1st grade 35 · 2nd grade 39 · 3rd grade 12 · Club 3 · 4th grade 1). 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: 98 catches + 16 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 90 matches — 1.28 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,644 runs in 82 innings, adjusted average 23.0, strike rate 65.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 6 wickets from 44.7 overs across 10 matches bowled in (of 90 played) — 0.07 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
