Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 7% of 50+ scores become hundreds (13 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 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 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 30 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 68 catches + 15 run outs (15 direct, 0 assisted) in 127 matches — 0.65 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 124 innings at 24.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
96 wickets in 67 matches bowled in (of 127 played) — 1.43 per match at 15.6, economy 3.59, strike rate 26.0.
