info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.46 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 24 catches in 52 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 57 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 42 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 5 · 4th grade 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 36 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 24 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.52 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 30 innings at 6.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 39 wickets in 47 matches bowled in (of 52 played) — 0.83 per match at 28.2, economy 5.43, strike rate 31.1.
