Fielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.10 catches per match over 21 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 21). 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: 2 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 17.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 14 wickets from 53.3 overs across 20 matches bowled in (of 21 played) — 0.70 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
