Fielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.13 catches per match over 39 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 28 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.50 for the level played (Rep Div 1 8 · Club 31). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 32 innings at 22.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 38 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 0.50 per match at 17.3, economy 3.07, strike rate 33.8.
