medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (11 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.78 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 62 catches in 80 matches (0.78 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 9 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting 71 × 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
×0.97 for the level played (National competition 46 · 1st grade 34). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
Fielding
Keeping: 42 catches + 9 stumpings + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 80 matches — 0.68 dismissals per match.
Batting
1,886 runs in 78 innings, adjusted average 27.0, strike rate 86.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 1 wicket from 8.0 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 80 played) — 0.01 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
