A 142-strike-rate hundred off 62 balls.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 5 matches (+0.8)
- ● Body of work — 16 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.13 catches per match over 16 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Only 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 57.1.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 99.8) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 107.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting 90 × 30% · Bowling 47 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.47 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 16 matches — 0.12 per match.
- Batting
- 731 runs in 16 innings, adjusted average 57.1, strike rate 99.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 12 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 16 played) — 0.86 per match at 29.2, economy 4.27, strike rate 41.0.
