Critical recommendations
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.69 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 31.3.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 5 hundred(s), best of 134.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.42.
- ✓ Safe hands — 64 catches in 93 matches (0.69 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 64 × 40% · Batting 84 × 30% · Bowling 46 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.67 for the level played (National competition 15 · 1st grade 7 · Rep Div 1 7 · 2nd grade 2 · 3rd grade 6 · Club 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 52 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 41 catches + 9 run outs (4 direct, 5 assisted) in 93 matches — 0.54 per match.
- Batting
- 2,551 runs in 92 innings, adjusted average 31.3, strike rate 71.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 92 wickets in 70 matches bowled in (of 93 played) — 1.31 per match at 22.0, economy 3.42, strike rate 38.7.
