info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.50 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 110.
- ✓ Safe hands — 36 catches in 72 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 20 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 74 × 40% · Batting 55 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 19 catches + 20 stumpings + 8 run outs (1 direct, 7 assisted) in 72 matches — 0.65 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,547 runs in 70 innings, adjusted average 24.9, strike rate 77.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 18.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 72 played) — 0.06 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
