info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

Strengths

- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.16.
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 23 matches (0.61 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting 49 × 30% · Bowling 56 × 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 23). 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: 14 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.65 per match.
- Batting
- 662 runs in 21 innings, adjusted average 34.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 18 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 1.06 per match at 19.6, economy 3.16, strike rate 37.3.
