12 of 22 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.41 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 11.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.09.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 39 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 11 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 7 run outs (5 direct, 2 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.59 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 22.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 36 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 0.83 per match at 11.5, economy 3.09, strike rate 22.3.
