A Grade Hutchinson Builders Two Day Comp · 2024/25 · 9×4, 2×6

Critical recommendations
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.66 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 73.4 (frequently not out).
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 12 hundred(s), best of 143.
- ✓ Safe hands — 69 catches in 105 matches (0.66 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 40% · Batting 89 × 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
- ×0.35 for the level played (2nd grade 4 · 3rd grade 7 · Club 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 41 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 69 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 105 matches — 0.68 per match.
- Batting
- 5,188 runs in 104 innings, adjusted average 73.4, strike rate 68.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 15 wickets from 67.5 overs across 17 matches bowled in (of 105 played) — 0.14 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
