Glenn Rowlands Shield (MYL) · 2025/26 · 12×4, 3×6 · SR 163

The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 33 balls (SR 152), then 50 to 100 in just 27 (SR 185) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 54.9 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 13% 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 7% of 50+ scores become hundreds (13 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.0.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.04.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 14 run outs.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 9 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.45 for the level played (State competition 2 · Rep Div 1 12 · Club 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 47 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 62 catches + 14 run outs (5 direct, 9 assisted) in 227 matches — 0.33 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 200 innings at 15.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
131 wickets in 146 matches bowled in (of 227 played) — 0.90 per match at 17.0, economy 3.04, strike rate 33.6.
