A Grade Wyllie Cup · 2024/25 · 17×4, 6×6 · SR 111

Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 59.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 165.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 69 catches in 158 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting 64 × 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
×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · Club 36). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 39 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 69 catches + 5 run outs (4 direct, 1 assisted) in 158 matches — 0.47 per match.
Batting
3,723 runs in 153 innings, adjusted average 25.8, strike rate 59.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 0 wickets from 6.0 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 158 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
