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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.0.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 25 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting 44 × 30% · Bowling 59 × 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 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- 240 runs in 18 innings, adjusted average 17.8, strike rate 81.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 25 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 1.47 per match at 17.0, economy 4.85, strike rate 21.0.
