1. Sungold Division 1 · 2023/24 · 11×4, 1×6 · SR 81

The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 70 balls (SR 71), then 50 to 100 in just 53 (SR 94) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 52.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

93 of 130 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (19 fifties, 3 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 136.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 51 catches in 138 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting 40 × 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
×0.30 for the level played (Club 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 27 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 49 catches + 6 run outs (5 direct, 1 assisted) in 138 matches — 0.40 per match.
Batting
3,650 runs in 148 innings, adjusted average 27.7, strike rate 52.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 6 wickets from 44.3 overs across 20 matches bowled in (of 138 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
