Critical recommendations
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.70 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 — 2 hundred(s), best of 109.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.35.
- ✓ Safe hands — 76 catches in 108 matches (0.70 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 56 × 40% · Batting 68 × 30% · Bowling 58 × 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 17 · 3rd grade 10 · Club 12 · 4th grade 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 46 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 43 catches + 9 run outs (3 direct, 6 assisted) in 108 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- 2,334 runs in 105 innings, adjusted average 28.2, strike rate 78.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 58 wickets in 65 matches bowled in (of 108 played) — 0.89 per match at 16.6, economy 3.35, strike rate 29.7.
