Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (12 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.24 dismissals per match across 90 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 100.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting 66 × 30% · Bowling 54 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 90 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- 2,064 runs in 87 innings, adjusted average 29.2, strike rate 71.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 88 wickets in 70 matches bowled in (of 90 played) — 1.26 per match at 18.8, economy 4.32, strike rate 26.1.
