info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.56 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 101.
- ✓ Safe hands — 31 catches in 55 matches (0.56 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 68 × 40% · Batting 54 × 30% · Bowling 17 × 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 (3rd grade 14 · Club 13 · 4th grade 18 · 5th grade and below 10). 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: 31 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.64 per match.
- Batting
- 1,024 runs in 56 innings, adjusted average 20.2, strike rate 85.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 13 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 0.24 per match at 19.5, economy 4.42, strike rate 26.5.
