Fielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.12 catches per match over 25 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 2 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 2 catches + 4 stumpings + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.32 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 23 innings at 31.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 2.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
