Critical recommendations
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.43 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 13.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.01.
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 37 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 53 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 75 × 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 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 19.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 78 wickets in 36 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 2.17 per match at 13.3, economy 3.01, strike rate 26.4.
