Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.9.
- ✓ Safe hands — 33 catches in 85 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 40% · Batting 59 × 30% · Bowling 68 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.45 for the level played (Rep Div 1 12 · Club 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 39 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 33 catches + 7 run outs (3 direct, 4 assisted) in 85 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- 1,647 runs in 84 innings, adjusted average 24.0, strike rate 79.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 45 wickets in 61 matches bowled in (of 85 played) — 0.74 per match at 17.9, economy 4.10, strike rate 26.2.
