One Day Grade 3 · 2024/25 · 9×4, 10×6 · SR 224

The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 24 balls (SR 208), then 50 to 100 in just 21 (SR 238) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 40 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 20 catches + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 89 matches — 0.28 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 58 innings at 21.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 11 wickets from 36.0 overs across 14 matches bowled in (of 89 played) — 0.12 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
