Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 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 16.5.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 52 catches in 119 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 13 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 63 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.51 for the level played (State competition 12 · 1st grade 4 · Club 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 46 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 52 catches + 13 run outs (10 direct, 3 assisted) in 119 matches — 0.55 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 88 innings at 25.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 90 wickets in 99 matches bowled in (of 119 played) — 0.91 per match at 16.5, economy 4.21, strike rate 23.6.
