info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.44.
- ✓ Safe hands — 24 catches in 60 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 56). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 24 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 60 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 14.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 57 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 60 played) — 1.24 per match at 14.5, economy 3.44, strike rate 25.3.
