Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.64 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 32.3.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 116.9) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 28 matches (0.64 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting 57 × 30% · Bowling 21 × 30%. 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 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.68 per match.
- Batting
- 881 runs in 30 innings, adjusted average 32.3, strike rate 116.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 13 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 0.59 per match at 24.4, economy 4.44, strike rate 32.9.
