Third Grade (Mitchell Cup) · 2024/25 · 9×4, 5×6 · SR 82

The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 78 balls (SR 64), then 50 to 100 in just 52 (SR 96) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 60.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

53 of 74 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

0.20 dismissals per match across 98 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 115.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.76.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting 67 × 30% · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.51 for the level played (2nd grade 24 · 3rd grade 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 46 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 18 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 98 matches — 0.20 per match.
Batting
1,671 runs in 85 innings, adjusted average 22.2, strike rate 60.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
46 wickets in 52 matches bowled in (of 98 played) — 0.88 per match at 21.6, economy 3.76, strike rate 34.5.
