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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 9.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.31.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 18 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 22 matches (0.41 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 73 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.49 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6 · Club 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.55 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 13 innings at 14.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 26 wickets in 21 matches bowled in (of 22 played) — 1.24 per match at 9.7, economy 3.31, strike rate 17.6.
