info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.63 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 22 catches in 35 matches (0.63 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 54 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 20 · 4th grade 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 30 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 20 catches + 3 stumpings + 6 run outs (2 direct, 4 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.83 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 23 innings at 6.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
