Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
1.33 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 61 catches in 46 matches (1.33 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 15 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 100 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 50 catches + 15 stumpings + 8 run outs (0 direct, 8 assisted) in 46 matches — 1.59 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 23.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
