163* off 201
Kookaburra Men's Premier Thirds · 2025/26 · 20×4, 5×6 · SR 81

The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 122 balls (SR 41), then 50 to 100 in just 52 (SR 96) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 61.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

117 of 164 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 7% of 50+ scores become hundreds (26 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 163.
  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.6.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.49.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 74 × 30% · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.41 for the level played (2nd grade 13 · 3rd grade 7 · Club 17 · 4th grade 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 41 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 57 catches + 6 run outs (6 direct, 0 assisted) in 204 matches — 0.31 per match.
Batting
4,734 runs in 202 innings, adjusted average 27.8, strike rate 61.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
164 wickets in 146 matches bowled in (of 204 played) — 1.12 per match at 17.6, economy 3.49, strike rate 30.2.
