Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 10% of 50+ scores become hundreds (9 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 99.7) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 114.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.55.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting 67 × 30% · Bowling 50 × 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 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 29 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 93 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- 1,854 runs in 89 innings, adjusted average 24.1, strike rate 99.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 101 wickets in 80 matches bowled in (of 93 played) — 1.26 per match at 17.8, economy 3.55, strike rate 30.1.
