Critical recommendations
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 — 38 catches in 95 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.49 for the level played (Rep Div 1 19 · Club 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 47 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 38 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 95 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 77 innings at 23.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 57 wickets in 56 matches bowled in (of 95 played) — 1.02 per match at 26.7, economy 4.89, strike rate 32.7.
