info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.58 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 38 catches in 65 matches (0.58 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 63 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 38 catches + 5 run outs (0 direct, 5 assisted) in 65 matches — 0.66 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 8.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 74 wickets in 58 matches bowled in (of 65 played) — 1.28 per match at 18.2, economy 4.63, strike rate 23.6.
