info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.53 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 51 catches in 97 matches (0.53 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 39 run outs.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 21 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 70 × 40% · Batting 43 × 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
- ×0.48 for the level played (State competition 5 · Rep Div 1 10 · Club 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 45 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 38 catches + 21 stumpings + 39 run outs (3 direct, 36 assisted) in 97 matches — 1.01 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,180 runs in 84 innings, adjusted average 18.4, strike rate 69.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 16 wickets from 54.0 overs across 22 matches bowled in (of 97 played) — 0.16 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
