0.21 dismissals per match across 75 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting 49 × 30% · Bowling 57 × 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 (3rd grade 11 · Club 39 · 4th grade 15 · 5th grade and below 10). 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
- Outfield: 12 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 75 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- 1,028 runs in 61 innings, adjusted average 20.7, strike rate 86.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 102 wickets in 70 matches bowled in (of 75 played) — 1.46 per match at 19.2, economy 3.11, strike rate 36.9.
