Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 8% of 50+ scores become hundreds (12 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.43 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 147.
- ✓ Safe hands — 55 catches in 128 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 15 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting 48 × 30% · Bowling 44 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.56 for the level played (1st grade 4 · 2nd grade 27 · Club 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 44 catches + 15 run outs (12 direct, 3 assisted) in 128 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- 2,500 runs in 126 innings, adjusted average 26.0, strike rate 67.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 65 wickets in 79 matches bowled in (of 128 played) — 0.82 per match at 16.0, economy 3.75, strike rate 25.5.
