Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.45 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.58.
- ✓ Safe hands — 35 catches in 78 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.33 for the level played (2nd grade 11 · Club 67). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 22 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 78 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 76 innings at 18.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 43 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 78 played) — 1.10 per match at 21.1, economy 3.58, strike rate 35.4.
