119 off 149
Men's 2nd Grade · 2023/24 · 14×4, 2×6 · SR 80

The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 104 balls (SR 48), then 50 to 100 in just 35 (SR 143) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 64.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par

0.45 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.65 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 — 2 hundred(s), best of 119.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 70 catches in 107 matches (0.65 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 12 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting 52 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 28 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 34 catches + 4 run outs (3 direct, 1 assisted) in 107 matches — 0.36 per match.
Batting
1,964 runs in 107 innings, adjusted average 20.8, strike rate 64.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 38 wickets from 224.8 overs across 35 matches bowled in (of 107 played) — 0.36 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
