175* off 191
Kookaburra Men's Premier Seconds · 2023/24 · 27×4, 0×6 · SR 92

The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 100 balls (SR 50), then 50 to 100 in just 37 (SR 135) — more than double the tempo.

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 175.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 46 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting 86 × 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
×0.65 for the level played (1st grade 6 · 2nd grade 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 30 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 18 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.39 per match.
Batting
1,550 runs in 46 innings, adjusted average 38.8, strike rate 75.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 1 wicket from 5.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 0.02 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
