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
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 97.2) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 125.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.58.
- ✓ Safe hands — 39 catches in 88 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting 75 × 30% · Bowling 61 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.79 for the level played (1st grade 30 · Club 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 34 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 39 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 88 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- 1,420 runs in 75 innings, adjusted average 22.2, strike rate 97.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 193 wickets in 83 matches bowled in (of 88 played) — 2.33 per match at 19.9, economy 3.58, strike rate 33.4.
