General
No critical flags
Imported-match numbers are solid across the board. Keep importing matches to track trends over time.

- ✓ Safe hands — 34 catches in 90 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting 51 × 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
- ×0.65 for the level played (State competition 5 · Rep Div 1 31 · Club 13 · 4th grade 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 51 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 31 catches + 8 run outs (5 direct, 3 assisted) in 90 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- 2,479 runs in 90 innings, adjusted average 29.7, strike rate 85.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 23 wickets from 102.7 overs across 21 matches bowled in (of 90 played) — 0.26 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
