Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 12% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 162.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting 62 × 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 61). 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 + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 61 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- 1,538 runs in 66 innings, adjusted average 28.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 15 wickets from 95.0 overs across 19 matches bowled in (of 61 played) — 0.25 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
