Critical recommendations
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 17.5.
- ✓ Safe hands — 61 catches in 132 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 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 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 61 catches + 8 run outs (5 direct, 3 assisted) in 132 matches — 0.52 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 107 innings at 16.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 181 wickets in 120 matches bowled in (of 132 played) — 1.51 per match at 17.5, economy 4.16, strike rate 25.3.
