info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.60 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 107.
- ✓ Safe hands — 57 catches in 95 matches (0.60 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 15 run outs.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 7 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 53 × 40% · Batting 70 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 47 catches + 7 stumpings + 15 run outs (2 direct, 13 assisted) in 95 matches — 0.73 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,741 runs in 88 innings, adjusted average 21.8, strike rate 82.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 23.0 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 95 played) — 0.08 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
