info
Fielding

0.41 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 7 hundred(s), best of 135.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.85.
- ✓ Safe hands — 53 catches in 130 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 62 × 40% · Batting 89 × 30% · Bowling 61 × 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 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 51 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 130 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- 3,194 runs in 116 innings, adjusted average 32.0, strike rate 81.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 185 wickets in 114 matches bowled in (of 130 played) — 1.62 per match at 17.8, economy 2.85, strike rate 37.4.
