Fielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.07 catches per match over 14 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.
info
General
Small sample size
Only 1 batting innings imported — import more of this player's matches before treating these findings as conclusive.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.38.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 6 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 68 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.46 for the level played (2nd grade 5 · 3rd grade 6 · Club 1 · 4th grade 2). 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: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 14 matches — 0.07 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 1 innings at 0.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 34 wickets in 14 matches — 2.43 per match at 11.8, economy 2.38, strike rate 29.7.
