info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.52 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 16.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.55.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 29 matches (0.52 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.37 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 28 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.55 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 13 innings at 13.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 27 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 1.11 per match at 16.3, economy 3.55, strike rate 27.5.
