info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.63 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 11.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.17.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 27 matches (0.63 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 74 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.70 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 11.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 51 wickets in 27 matches — 1.89 per match at 11.3, economy 3.17, strike rate 21.4.
