Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 12% of 50+ scores become hundreds (15 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 43.0.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 91.4) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 160.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting 94 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 51 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- 1,911 runs in 49 innings, adjusted average 43.0, strike rate 91.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 10.2 overs across 6 matches bowled in (of 51 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
