07. Ted Hussey Shield (Male Under 17's) · 2023/24 · 7×4, 4×6 · SR 140

The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 44 balls (SR 114), then 50 to 100 in just 29 (SR 172) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 60.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 8% of 50+ scores become hundreds (11 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 43 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.57 for the level played (1st grade 5 · 2nd grade 26 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 26 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 79 matches — 0.33 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 81 innings at 27.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
63 wickets in 58 matches bowled in (of 79 played) — 1.09 per match at 26.4, economy 4.05, strike rate 39.1.
