info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.82 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 27 catches in 33 matches (0.82 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting 58 × 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 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 20 catches + 5 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.76 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 714 runs in 32 innings, adjusted average 25.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 4.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 0.03 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
