info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.48 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 118.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.18.
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 33 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 56 × 40% · Batting 62 × 30% · Bowling 58 × 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 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.55 per match.
- Batting
- 527 runs in 26 innings, adjusted average 22.6, strike rate 78.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 29 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 1.21 per match at 13.7, economy 3.18, strike rate 25.8.
