medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting 60 × 30% · Bowling 44 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.48 for the level played (National competition 8 · Rep Div 1 20 · 2nd grade 5 · 3rd grade 23 · Club 22 · 4th grade 4). 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: 18 catches + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 82 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- 1,185 runs in 70 innings, adjusted average 22.5, strike rate 75.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 53 wickets in 54 matches bowled in (of 82 played) — 0.98 per match at 22.3, economy 4.34, strike rate 30.8.
