info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 17 matches (0.76 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 75 × 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 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 12 catches + 4 stumpings + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 17 matches — 1.18 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 16 innings at 15.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 2.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
