Critical recommendations
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.45 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 100.0) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 101.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.69.
- ✓ Safe hands — 47 catches in 105 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting 67 × 30% · Bowling 62 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.36 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 35). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 47 catches + 6 run outs (3 direct, 3 assisted) in 105 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- 1,304 runs in 73 innings, adjusted average 22.5, strike rate 100.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 151 wickets in 99 matches bowled in (of 105 played) — 1.53 per match at 15.9, economy 3.69, strike rate 25.9.
