info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.51 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 38 catches in 75 matches (0.51 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 30%. 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 32). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 32 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 28 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 75 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 68 innings at 14.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 68 wickets in 59 matches bowled in (of 75 played) — 1.15 per match at 22.4, economy 4.39, strike rate 30.5.
