info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.44 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.67.
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 43 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 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 43). 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: 19 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 43 innings at 14.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 45 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 1.15 per match at 23.3, economy 3.67, strike rate 38.0.
