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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.52.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 15 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 68 × 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 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 1 innings at 2.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 24 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 1.71 per match at 12.9, economy 3.52, strike rate 22.0.
