info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 47 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 29). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 43 innings at 17.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 3.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 0.06 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
