Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 36 catches in 85 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 35 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.36 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 36). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 41 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 36 catches + 8 run outs (7 direct, 1 assisted) in 85 matches — 0.52 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 82 innings at 19.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 91 wickets in 82 matches bowled in (of 85 played) — 1.11 per match at 24.9, economy 4.22, strike rate 35.4.
