Kookaburra Men's Premier Thirds · 2025/26 · 10×4, 1×6 · SR 62

The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 101 balls (SR 50), then 50 to 100 in just 58 (SR 86) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 60.9 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 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

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

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.71 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 67 catches in 94 matches (0.71 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 25 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 61 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
×0.52 for the level played (2nd grade 16 · 3rd grade 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 28 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 51 catches + 25 stumpings + 10 run outs (5 direct, 5 assisted) in 94 matches — 0.91 dismissals per match.
Batting
Not rated: 87 innings at 21.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 1 wicket from 6.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 94 played) — 0.01 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
