High duck rate
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.44 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 47 catches in 108 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 19 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 40% · Batting 42 × 30% · Bowling 40 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6 · Rep Div 2 13 · Club 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 47 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 44 catches + 19 run outs (11 direct, 8 assisted) in 108 matches — 0.58 per match.
- Batting
- 1,299 runs in 93 innings, adjusted average 17.9, strike rate 79.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 37 wickets in 84 matches bowled in (of 108 played) — 0.44 per match at 23.5, economy 4.26, strike rate 33.1.
