171* off 225
Men's 1st Grade · 2022/23 · 21×4, 2×6 · SR 76

The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 85 balls (SR 59), then 50 to 100 in just 64 (SR 78) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

66 of 85 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.74 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 37.2.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 5 hundred(s), best of 171.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 68 catches in 92 matches (0.74 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 68 × 40% · Batting 72 × 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
×0.98 for the level played (National competition 38 · 1st grade 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 43 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 52 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 92 matches — 0.59 per match.
Batting
3,242 runs in 101 innings, adjusted average 37.2, strike rate 66.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 0 wickets from 2.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 92 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
