Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 9% of 50+ scores become hundreds (10 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 35 catches in 96 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 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 2 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 35 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 96 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 86 innings at 25.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 72 wickets in 70 matches bowled in (of 96 played) — 1.03 per match at 22.2, economy 4.28, strike rate 31.2.
