Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (25 fifties, 4 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 40.0.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 131.
- ✓ Safe hands — 42 catches in 117 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 12 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting 79 × 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
- ×0.54 for the level played (State competition 9 · Rep Div 1 13 · Club 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 50 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 42 catches + 12 run outs (10 direct, 2 assisted) in 117 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- 3,883 runs in 114 innings, adjusted average 40.0, strike rate 70.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 17 wickets from 46.3 overs across 17 matches bowled in (of 117 played) — 0.15 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
