Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 7% of 50+ scores become hundreds (13 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.81 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 105.1) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 101.
- ✓ Safe hands — 62 catches in 77 matches (0.81 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 77 × 40% · Batting 59 × 30% · Bowling 40 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 61 catches + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 77 matches — 0.86 per match.
- Batting
- 1,995 runs in 77 innings, adjusted average 27.3, strike rate 105.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 35 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 77 played) — 0.90 per match at 20.6, economy 4.82, strike rate 25.7.
