info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.73 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 17.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.01.
- ✓ Safe hands — 22 catches in 30 matches (0.73 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 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 30). 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: 22 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.73 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 11.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 31 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 1.11 per match at 17.8, economy 3.01, strike rate 35.5.
