Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 13% of 50+ scores become hundreds (13 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 131.
- ✓ Safe hands — 25 catches in 72 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting 75 × 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
- ×0.47 for the level played (2nd grade 10 · 3rd grade 17 · 4th grade 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 25 catches + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 72 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- 1,952 runs in 73 innings, adjusted average 28.2, strike rate 65.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 20.3 overs across 10 matches bowled in (of 72 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
