The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 85 balls (SR 59), then 50 to 100 in just 34 (SR 147) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
highBatting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 60.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
mediumBatting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
mediumBatting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 13% of 50+ scores become hundreds (13 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
infoFielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.41 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 — 2 hundred(s), best of 116.
✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.70.
✓ Safe hands — 39 catches in 96 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 40% · Batting 62 × 30% · Bowling 57 × 30%. 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 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 7 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 39 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 96 matches — 0.42 per match.
Batting
2,128 runs in 86 innings, adjusted average 28.8, strike rate 60.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
65 wickets in 65 matches bowled in (of 96 played) — 1.00 per match at 18.7, economy 3.70, strike rate 30.3.
