Men's Third Grade · 2025/26 · 6×4, 5×6 · SR 87

The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 66 balls (SR 76), then 50 to 100 in just 58 (SR 86) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 56.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

41 of 57 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 117.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting 71 × 30% · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.41 for the level played (1st grade 1 · 2nd grade 8 · 3rd grade 18 · Club 17 · 4th grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 45 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 23 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 78 matches — 0.32 per match.
Batting
1,678 runs in 66 innings, adjusted average 28.9, strike rate 56.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
62 wickets in 55 matches bowled in (of 78 played) — 1.13 per match at 19.6, economy 3.48, strike rate 33.8.
