B Grade - Crouch Shield · 2025/26 · 8×4, 7×6 · SR 134

The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 59 balls (SR 85), then 50 to 100 in just 18 (SR 278) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

8 of 11 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.21 dismissals per match across 19 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 41.0.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 103.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 81 × 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 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 11 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.21 per match.
Batting
515 runs in 17 innings, adjusted average 41.0, strike rate 67.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 1 wicket from 1.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 19 played) — 0.05 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
