info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.46 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 12.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.06.
- ✓ Safe hands — 32 catches in 69 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 72 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 29 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 69 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 59 innings at 16.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 110 wickets in 64 matches bowled in (of 69 played) — 1.72 per match at 12.9, economy 3.06, strike rate 25.2.
