  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 9 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting 41 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 23 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 7 catches + 9 stumpings + 5 run outs (0 direct, 5 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.66 dismissals per match.
Batting
464 runs in 30 innings, adjusted average 19.6, strike rate 65.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
