info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.88 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 23 catches in 26 matches (0.88 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 55 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 19 catches + 2 stumpings + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.96 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 14.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 34.3 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 0.15 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
