info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
1.14 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 30.0.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 105.
- ✓ Safe hands — 25 catches in 22 matches (1.14 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 87 × 40% · Batting 65 × 30% · 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 2 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 20 catches + 5 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 22 matches — 1.14 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 581 runs in 22 innings, adjusted average 30.0, strike rate 72.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 5.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 22 played) — 0.09 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
