Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 79 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 30 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.38 for the level played (State competition 2 · Club 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 18 matches — 1.06 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 18.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 18 played) — 1.23 per match at 34.6, economy 4.01, strike rate 51.8.
