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
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.23.
- ✓ Safe hands — 45 catches in 113 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 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 113). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 45 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 113 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 108 innings at 11.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 118 wickets in 104 matches bowled in (of 113 played) — 1.13 per match at 20.4, economy 3.23, strike rate 37.8.
