Men's 1st Grade · 2025/26 · 11×4, 12×6 · SR 105

The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 81 balls (SR 62), then 50 to 100 in just 17 (SR 294) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 50.3 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 10% of 50+ scores become hundreds (17 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 173.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.32.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 11 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting 67 × 30% · Bowling 25 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.91 for the level played (National competition 10 · 1st grade 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 24 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 82 catches + 11 run outs (11 direct, 0 assisted) in 320 matches — 0.29 per match.
Batting
4,221 runs in 256 innings, adjusted average 20.6, strike rate 50.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
472 wickets in 276 matches bowled in (of 320 played) — 1.71 per match at 21.4, economy 3.32, strike rate 38.6.
