Critical recommendations
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.59 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 3.14.
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 27 matches (0.59 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 67 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 48 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.59 for the level played (2nd grade 26 · 5th grade and below 1). 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: 16 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.67 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 17.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 50 wickets in 27 matches — 1.85 per match at 19.7, economy 3.14, strike rate 37.6.
