Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 17 matches (0.59 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 61 × 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 17). 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: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 17 innings at 13.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 9 wickets from 52.2 overs across 15 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 0.60 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
