Only 9% of 50+ scores become hundreds (10 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.89 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 45.2.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 111.
- ✓ Safe hands — 24 catches in 27 matches (0.89 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 71 × 40% · Batting 88 × 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 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 20 catches + 2 stumpings + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.89 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 985 runs in 26 innings, adjusted average 45.2, strike rate 81.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 12.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 0.07 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
