info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.88 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 37 catches in 42 matches (0.88 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 7 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 78 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 27 catches + 7 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.81 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 16.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 6 wickets from 24.8 overs across 6 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 0.14 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
