Sunday U17 Turf · 2024/25 · 16×4, 0×6 · SR 99

The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 63 balls (SR 79), then 50 to 100 in just 35 (SR 143) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 60.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (12 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 33.4.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 102.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 42 catches in 111 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting 55 × 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
×0.43 for the level played (State competition 2 · Rep Div 1 9 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 23 · 4th grade 6 · 5th grade and below 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 42 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 42 catches + 7 run outs (3 direct, 4 assisted) in 111 matches — 0.44 per match.
Batting
2,658 runs in 104 innings, adjusted average 33.4, strike rate 60.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 54 wickets from 227.3 overs across 64 matches bowled in (of 111 played) — 0.84 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
