info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.46 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 10.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.74.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 12 catches in 26 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 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 26). 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: 12 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 25.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 43 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 1.87 per match at 10.3, economy 2.74, strike rate 22.5.
