Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.23 dismissals per match across 31 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.6.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.85 for the level played (1st grade 31). 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 31 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 13 innings at 15.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 27 matches bowled in (of 31 played) — 0.78 per match at 16.6, economy 4.30, strike rate 23.1.
