info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.52 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 25 matches (0.52 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 31 × 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 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.64 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 24 innings at 9.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 0.79 per match at 33.3, economy 4.13, strike rate 48.3.
