info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.45 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 15.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.82.
- ✓ Safe hands — 23 catches in 51 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 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 51). 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: 22 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 51 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 58 innings at 14.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 89 wickets in 50 matches bowled in (of 51 played) — 1.78 per match at 15.2, economy 2.82, strike rate 32.3.
