114* off 164
Kookaburra Men's Premier Firsts · 2023/24 · 8×4, 3×6 · SR 70

The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 98 balls (SR 51), then 50 to 100 in just 61 (SR 82) — more than double the tempo.

  • ● Premier or state pathway — 12 matches (+4.8)
  • ● Body of work — 13 imported matches (+0.3)

Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 56.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 33.8.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 114.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 13 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting 70 × 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
×0.77 for the level played (1st grade 10 · 2nd grade 2 · Club 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
Fielding
Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.38 per match.
Batting
341 runs in 11 innings, adjusted average 33.8, strike rate 56.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 0 wickets from 3.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 13 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
