info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.47 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.4.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 17 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 (Club 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 8 innings at 6.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 12 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 1.50 per match at 15.4, economy 4.49, strike rate 20.6.
