Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (19 fifties, 3 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.75 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 37.6.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 134.
- ✓ Safe hands — 39 catches in 52 matches (0.75 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 73 × 40% · Batting 77 × 30% · Bowling 40 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×1.00 for the level played (National competition 34). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 34 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 39 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.79 per match.
- Batting
- 2,186 runs in 61 innings, adjusted average 37.6, strike rate 83.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 27 wickets in 41 matches bowled in (of 52 played) — 0.66 per match at 35.7, economy 4.89, strike rate 43.8.
