Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.90 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 21 matches (0.90 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting 57 × 30% · 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 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 2 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 13 catches + 3 stumpings + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.86 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 520 runs in 20 innings, adjusted average 28.6, strike rate 90.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
