- ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 12 matches (0.58 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 40% · Batting 58 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 12). 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 12 matches — 0.58 per match.
- Batting
- 224 runs in 9 innings, adjusted average 27.7, strike rate 95.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 6 wickets from 17.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 12 played) — 1.20 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
