info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.55 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 98.4) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 11 matches (0.55 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 64 × 40% · Batting 55 × 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 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 6 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 11 matches — 0.73 per match.
- Batting
- 179 runs in 9 innings, adjusted average 24.3, strike rate 98.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 14 wickets from 44.0 overs across 11 matches — 1.27 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
