info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.55 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 15.4.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 31 matches (0.55 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 48 × 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 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 31 matches — 0.61 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 19.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 34 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 31 played) — 1.21 per match at 15.4, economy 3.95, strike rate 23.4.
