Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.50 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 31 catches in 62 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 59 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 24 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 2 5 · Club 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 31 catches + 6 run outs (3 direct, 3 assisted) in 62 matches — 0.60 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 59 innings at 16.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 62 played) — 0.52 per match at 29.4, economy 4.78, strike rate 36.9.
