info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.43 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 14 matches (0.43 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 64 × 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 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 3 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 14 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 12 innings at 4.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 14 played) — 1.69 per match at 19.0, economy 5.16, strike rate 22.1.
