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.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting 57 × 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 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 30 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- 692 runs in 41 innings, adjusted average 19.8, strike rate 72.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 34.3 overs across 11 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 0.18 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
