info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.47 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 15 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 34 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.38 for the level played (1st grade 3 · 2nd grade 2 · 3rd grade 4 · Club 5 · 4th grade 1). 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: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 13 innings at 31.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 5 wickets in 6 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 0.83 per match at 35.2, economy 4.29, strike rate 49.2.
