1st XI - Sir John Lienhop Shield · 2024/25 · 12×4, 2×6 · SR 60

The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 125 balls (SR 40), then 50 to 100 in just 93 (SR 54) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 51.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 33.8.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 7 hundred(s), best of 149.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 14 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 40% · Batting 84 × 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
×0.40 for the level played (Rep Div 1 8 · Club 29). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 37 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 66 catches + 14 run outs (13 direct, 1 assisted) in 198 matches — 0.40 per match.
Batting
5,460 runs in 189 innings, adjusted average 33.8, strike rate 51.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 11 wickets from 70.3 overs across 20 matches bowled in (of 198 played) — 0.06 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
