Year 6 · 2023/24 · 16×4, 2×6 · SR 141

The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 44 balls (SR 114), then 50 to 100 in just 24 (SR 208) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations

high Bowling
Conceding too many extras

0.9 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.

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

  • ✓ Scores quickly (SR 112.2) without sacrificing consistency.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 100.
  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.7.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 20 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 40% · Batting 58 × 30% · Bowling 63 × 30%. 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 36). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 36 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 16 catches + 7 run outs (4 direct, 3 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.46 per match.
Batting
829 runs in 44 innings, adjusted average 23.1, strike rate 112.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
39 wickets in 49 matches bowled in (of 50 played) — 0.80 per match at 14.7, economy 4.29, strike rate 20.5.
