Only 10% of 50+ scores become hundreds (17 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 95 × 40% · Batting 88 × 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
- ×0.85 for the level played (1st grade 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 72 catches + 17 stumpings + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 71 matches — 1.31 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 2,370 runs in 75 innings, adjusted average 35.8, strike rate 73.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
