Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 11% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 33.4.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 100.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.13.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting 56 × 30% · Bowling 72 × 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 39). 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
- Outfield: 12 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- 1,183 runs in 39 innings, adjusted average 33.4, strike rate 68.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 53 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 1.89 per match at 12.5, economy 3.13, strike rate 23.9.
