info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.78 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 13.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.32.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 45 catches in 58 matches (0.78 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 68 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 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 36). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 36 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 43 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 58 matches — 0.76 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 53 innings at 22.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 34 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 58 played) — 1.21 per match at 13.7, economy 3.32, strike rate 24.7.
