Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (11 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.44 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.75.
- ✓ Safe hands — 55 catches in 125 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 20 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 66 × 40% · Batting 59 × 30% · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.66 for the level played (State competition 5 · 1st grade 9 · Rep Div 1 17 · 2nd grade 5 · 3rd grade 5 · Club 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 51 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 50 catches + 20 run outs (8 direct, 12 assisted) in 125 matches — 0.56 per match.
- Batting
- 2,119 runs in 105 innings, adjusted average 26.5, strike rate 71.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 164 wickets in 110 matches bowled in (of 125 played) — 1.49 per match at 17.2, economy 3.75, strike rate 27.6.
