Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.47 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.47.
- ✓ Safe hands — 41 catches in 88 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 57 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.83 for the level played (National competition 6 · 1st grade 16 · Rep Div 1 8 · 2nd grade 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 34 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 41 catches + 7 run outs (2 direct, 5 assisted) in 88 matches — 0.55 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 65 innings at 21.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 62 wickets in 55 matches bowled in (of 88 played) — 1.13 per match at 16.9, economy 3.47, strike rate 29.2.
