104 off 106
Grade 5 · 2025/26 · 13×4, 1×6 · SR 98

The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 65 balls (SR 77), then 50 to 100 in just 34 (SR 147) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 14.5 over 97 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

41 of 78 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.40 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 — 1 hundred(s), best of 104.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 50 catches in 126 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting 72 × 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
×0.30 for the level played (Club 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 19 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 43 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 126 matches — 0.37 per match.
Batting
1,177 runs in 97 innings, adjusted average 14.5, strike rate 62.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 45 wickets from 259.0 overs across 54 matches bowled in (of 126 played) — 0.83 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
