info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.41 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 12 catches in 29 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 19 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (3rd grade 6 · Club 1 · 4th grade 22). 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: 12 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 9 innings at 8.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 2 wickets in 9 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 0.07 per match at 79.0, economy 4.41, strike rate 107.5.
