108* off 71
Saturday B1S · 2025/26 · 19×4, 9×6
· SR 152
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 71 balls (SR 70), then 50 to 100 in just -3 (SR 0) — more than double the tempo.

Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 13% of 50+ scores become hundreds (20 fifties, 3 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 34.0.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 108.
- ✓ Safe hands — 49 catches in 139 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting 59 × 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
- ×0.41 for the level played (Rep Div 1 11 · 3rd grade 3 · Club 13 · 4th grade 7 · 5th grade and below 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 43 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 48 catches + 5 run outs (4 direct, 1 assisted) in 139 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- 3,319 runs in 128 innings, adjusted average 34.0, strike rate 72.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 53 wickets from 314.8 overs across 83 matches bowled in (of 139 played) — 0.64 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
