info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.51 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 93.8) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 122.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 28 catches in 55 matches (0.51 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 55 × 40% · Batting 76 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 28 catches + 5 run outs (4 direct, 1 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.60 per match.
- Batting
- 1,403 runs in 52 innings, adjusted average 29.6, strike rate 93.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 81 wickets in 52 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 1.56 per match at 18.2, economy 4.36, strike rate 25.0.
