Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.85 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 20 matches (0.85 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting 42 × 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
- ×0.40 for the level played (1st grade 5 · 2nd grade 8 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 6). 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
- Keeping: 12 catches + 2 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.75 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 352 runs in 20 innings, adjusted average 19.4, strike rate 73.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 9.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 20 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
