info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.67 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.03.
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 21 matches (0.67 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.67 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 12 innings at 7.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 41 wickets in 21 matches — 1.95 per match at 15.2, economy 3.03, strike rate 30.1.
