Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 102.
- ✓ Safe hands — 33 catches in 83 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting 59 × 30% · Bowling 16 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.49 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · 2nd grade 14 · 3rd grade 17 · Club 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 46 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 33 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 83 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- 1,679 runs in 85 innings, adjusted average 22.8, strike rate 65.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 83 played) — 0.19 per match at 26.5, economy 5.73, strike rate 27.8.
