info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.41 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 22 catches in 54 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.45 for the level played (2nd grade 7 · Club 5 · 4th grade 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 22 catches + 5 run outs (4 direct, 1 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 17.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 58 wickets in 51 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 1.14 per match at 27.5, economy 4.73, strike rate 34.9.
