info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.40 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 129.
- ✓ Safe hands — 52 catches in 129 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting 93 × 30% · Bowling 41 × 30%. 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 50 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 129 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- 2,029 runs in 117 innings, adjusted average 19.6, strike rate 70.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 91 wickets in 64 matches bowled in (of 129 played) — 1.42 per match at 17.1, economy 3.81, strike rate 26.9.
