Only 9% of 50+ scores become hundreds (31 fifties, 3 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.80 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 34.3.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 138.9) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 209.
- ✓ Safe hands — 112 catches in 140 matches (0.80 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 13 run outs.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 29 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 90 × 40% · Batting 76 × 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
- ×0.36 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 35). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 89 catches + 29 stumpings + 13 run outs (4 direct, 9 assisted) in 140 matches — 0.94 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 4,302 runs in 138 innings, adjusted average 34.3, strike rate 138.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 4.5 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 140 played) — 0.01 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
