info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.41 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 12 catches in 29 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 61 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 1 match since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.52 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 7.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 38 wickets from 184.2 overs across 24 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 1.58 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
