info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.82 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 43.9.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 130.3) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 120.
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 17 matches (0.82 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 7 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 61 × 40% · Batting 75 × 30% · 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 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 13 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 13 catches + 7 stumpings + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 17 matches — 1.24 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 634 runs in 17 innings, adjusted average 43.9, strike rate 130.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 1.8 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 0.06 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
