info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.42 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 16.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.38.
- ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 26 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 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 26). 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: 11 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 23.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 1.08 per match at 16.7, economy 3.38, strike rate 29.7.
