info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.64 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 14.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.24.
- ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 11 matches (0.64 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 61 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.78 for the level played (1st grade 1 · Rep Div 1 10). 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: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 11 matches — 0.64 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 4 innings at 13.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 11 matches — 1.45 per match at 14.4, economy 3.24, strike rate 26.6.
