info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.84 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 173.
- ✓ Safe hands — 48 catches in 57 matches (0.84 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 13 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 79 × 40% · Batting 77 × 30% · Bowling 24 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 28 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 35 catches + 13 stumpings + 8 run outs (2 direct, 6 assisted) in 57 matches — 0.98 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,417 runs in 57 innings, adjusted average 26.6, strike rate 71.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 10 wickets in 11 matches bowled in (of 57 played) — 0.18 per match at 19.0, economy 5.38, strike rate 21.2.
