Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting 50 × 30% · Bowling 25 × 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 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- 812 runs in 42 innings, adjusted average 22.1, strike rate 78.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 50 played) — 0.30 per match at 26.5, economy 5.20, strike rate 30.5.
