Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.50 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.51.
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 32 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 56 × 40% · Batting 44 × 30% · Bowling 56 × 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 32). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 32 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.62 per match.
- Batting
- 379 runs in 25 innings, adjusted average 20.6, strike rate 65.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 43 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 1.39 per match at 19.2, economy 3.51, strike rate 32.8.
