info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 26 catches in 65 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.44 for the level played (Rep Div 1 13 · Club 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 46 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 26 catches + 6 run outs (3 direct, 3 assisted) in 65 matches — 0.49 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 55 innings at 16.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 43 wickets in 58 matches bowled in (of 65 played) — 0.74 per match at 23.4, economy 4.90, strike rate 28.7.
