info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
1.03 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 95 catches in 92 matches (1.03 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 28 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 1 match since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 72 catches + 28 stumpings + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 92 matches — 1.11 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 92 innings at 19.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 12 wickets from 51.3 overs across 13 matches bowled in (of 92 played) — 0.13 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
