152 off 117
First Grade (Belvidere Cup) · 2024/25 · 8×4, 7×6 · SR 130

The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 55 balls (SR 91), then 50 to 100 in just 22 (SR 227) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 64.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

84 of 112 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.53 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 37.1.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 7 hundred(s), best of 152.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 61 catches in 115 matches (0.53 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting 75 × 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
×0.91 for the level played (National competition 22 · 1st grade 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 55 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 61 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 115 matches — 0.54 per match.
Batting
4,204 runs in 125 innings, adjusted average 37.1, strike rate 64.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 8 wickets from 44.5 overs across 20 matches bowled in (of 115 played) — 0.07 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
