info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.82 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 102.6) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 106.
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 22 matches (0.82 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 79 × 40% · Batting 69 × 30% · 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
- ×0.40 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 17 catches + 5 stumpings + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 22 matches — 1.09 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 390 runs in 15 innings, adjusted average 29.5, strike rate 102.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
