info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.52 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.98.
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 33 matches (0.52 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.68 for the level played (Rep Div 1 24 · Club 8 · 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: 17 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.58 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 12.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 31 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 1.03 per match at 17.5, economy 2.98, strike rate 35.3.
