info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.56 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 38.0.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 114.3) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 130.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.32.
- ✓ Safe hands — 24 catches in 43 matches (0.56 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 63 × 40% · Batting 79 × 30% · Bowling 68 × 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 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 24 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.63 per match.
- Batting
- 1,390 runs in 41 innings, adjusted average 38.0, strike rate 114.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 48 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 1.50 per match at 14.7, economy 3.32, strike rate 26.5.
