A Grade - Nutrien Ag Solutions Strathalbyn · 2025/26 · 8×4, 5×6 · SR 100

The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 55 balls (SR 91), then 50 to 100 in just 45 (SR 111) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 7% of 50+ scores become hundreds (14 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par

0.33 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

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Scores quickly (SR 94.1) without sacrificing consistency.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 101.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 48 catches in 79 matches (0.61 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting 76 × 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 38). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 38 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 26 catches + 5 run outs (0 direct, 5 assisted) in 79 matches — 0.39 per match.
Batting
2,088 runs in 77 innings, adjusted average 29.2, strike rate 94.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 12 wickets from 63.7 overs across 21 matches bowled in (of 79 played) — 0.15 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
