info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.45 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 40.4.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 155.
- ✓ Safe hands — 45 catches in 100 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 40% · Batting 91 × 30% · 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 45 catches + 4 run outs (3 direct, 1 assisted) in 100 matches — 0.49 per match.
- Batting
- 2,933 runs in 89 innings, adjusted average 40.4, strike rate 81.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 105 wickets in 80 matches bowled in (of 100 played) — 1.31 per match at 19.4, economy 4.15, strike rate 28.0.
