Fielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.00 catches per match over 28 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.

General
Small sample size
Only 1 batting innings imported — import more of this player's matches before treating these findings as conclusive.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 5 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 0 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.04 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 1 innings at 1.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 1.12 per match at 21.8, economy 4.78, strike rate 27.4.
