Fielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.14 catches per match over 56 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
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 105.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting 54 × 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 36). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 36 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- 1,130 runs in 50 innings, adjusted average 25.8, strike rate 87.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 2.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 0.02 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
