0.15 dismissals per match across 20 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.9.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 19 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 32 × 30% · Bowling 67 × 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 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 6 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.15 per match.
Batting
144 runs in 14 innings, adjusted average 14.0, strike rate 61.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
23 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 20 played) — 1.53 per match at 11.9, economy 3.81, strike rate 18.8.
