medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 4% of 50+ scores become hundreds (22 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
medium
Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par
0.37 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.60 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 34.2.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 117.
- ✓ Safe hands — 66 catches in 110 matches (0.60 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting 73 × 30% · 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 37). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 37 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 28 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 110 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- 3,247 runs in 114 innings, adjusted average 34.2, strike rate 85.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 19 wickets from 104.7 overs across 23 matches bowled in (of 110 played) — 0.17 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
