First Grade (Coalfields Cup) · 2025/26 · 13×4, 1×6 · SR 84

The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 82 balls (SR 61), then 50 to 100 in just 39 (SR 128) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 63.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

high Bowling
Economy under pressure

Going at 5.89 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 11% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 102.
  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 18.0.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 18 balls.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 29 catches in 80 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting 60 × 30% · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · Club 37). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 40 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 28 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 80 matches — 0.38 per match.
Batting
1,697 runs in 78 innings, adjusted average 22.9, strike rate 63.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
46 wickets in 38 matches bowled in (of 80 played) — 1.21 per match at 18.0, economy 5.89, strike rate 18.3.
