Critical recommendations
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.48 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 109.8) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 131.
- ✓ Safe hands — 39 catches in 82 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 7 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 73 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 37 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 82 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- 2,310 runs in 87 innings, adjusted average 28.4, strike rate 109.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 31 wickets from 133.2 overs across 26 matches bowled in (of 82 played) — 0.38 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
