Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 13% of 50+ scores become hundreds (27 fifties, 4 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.66 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 45.2.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 142.
- ✓ Safe hands — 56 catches in 85 matches (0.66 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 70 × 40% · Batting 77 × 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: 56 catches + 10 run outs (5 direct, 5 assisted) in 85 matches — 0.78 per match.
- Batting
- 3,201 runs in 82 innings, adjusted average 45.2, strike rate 74.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 89 wickets in 67 matches bowled in (of 85 played) — 1.33 per match at 23.2, economy 4.96, strike rate 28.1.
