Fielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.13 catches per match over 23 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 124.0) without sacrificing consistency.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting 62 × 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 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 3 catches + 2 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.22 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 509 runs in 23 innings, adjusted average 25.0, strike rate 124.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
