info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.57 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 33.7.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 129.5) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.4.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 23 matches (0.57 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 40% · Batting 72 × 30% · Bowling 63 × 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 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.52 per match.
- Batting
- 520 runs in 18 innings, adjusted average 33.7, strike rate 129.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 21 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 1.43 per match at 16.4, economy 4.10, strike rate 24.0.
