info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.44 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 — 1 hundred(s), best of 134.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.89.
- ✓ Safe hands — 12 catches in 27 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 50 × 40% · Batting 69 × 30% · Bowling 54 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- 709 runs in 27 innings, adjusted average 27.2, strike rate 76.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 0.93 per match at 18.6, economy 2.89, strike rate 38.6.
