Critical recommendations
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.46 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 92.6) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.7.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 12 catches in 26 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting 47 × 30% · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.40 for the level played (1st grade 2 · Rep Div 1 7 · 2nd grade 2 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 13). 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 + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- 516 runs in 25 innings, adjusted average 24.8, strike rate 92.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 29 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 1.45 per match at 16.7, economy 4.08, strike rate 24.6.
