info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.48 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 15.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.46.
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 27 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 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 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 9 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 8 innings at 13.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 38 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 1.46 per match at 15.2, economy 3.46, strike rate 26.4.
