info
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
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 38.6.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 112.
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 28 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting 77 × 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 28). 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: 13 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- 970 runs in 27 innings, adjusted average 38.6, strike rate 87.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
