info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.44 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 17.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.27.
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 39 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 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 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 12.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 59 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 1.69 per match at 17.7, economy 3.27, strike rate 32.5.
