info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.45 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 17.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.29.
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 47 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 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 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.53 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 16.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 54 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 1.29 per match at 17.4, economy 3.29, strike rate 31.7.
