Critical recommendations
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.48 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 150.
- ✓ Safe hands — 30 catches in 63 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting 66 × 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
- ×0.33 for the level played (3rd grade 10 · Club 21 · 4th grade 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 34 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 28 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 63 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- 1,349 runs in 60 innings, adjusted average 25.9, strike rate 80.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 13 wickets from 54.7 overs across 13 matches bowled in (of 63 played) — 0.21 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
