info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.93 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 30.6.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 147.2) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 102.
- ✓ Safe hands — 26 catches in 28 matches (0.93 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 80 × 40% · Batting 63 × 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 15). 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
- Keeping: 23 catches + 5 stumpings + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 28 matches — 1.11 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 751 runs in 28 innings, adjusted average 30.7, strike rate 147.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 0.3 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
