Fielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.08 catches per match over 76 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.00.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 7 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 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 76). 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: 6 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 76 matches — 0.09 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 47 innings at 17.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 119 wickets in 70 matches bowled in (of 76 played) — 1.70 per match at 17.2, economy 3.00, strike rate 34.4.
