The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 43 balls (SR 116), then 50 to 100 in just 32 (SR 156) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
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.
Only 9% of 50+ scores become hundreds (10 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.43 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
0.69 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 30.2.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 101.
- ✓ Safe hands — 34 catches in 49 matches (0.69 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting 77 × 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 10 run outs (2 direct, 8 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.53 per match.
- Batting
- 1,155 runs in 45 innings, adjusted average 30.2, strike rate 85.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 7 wickets from 24.0 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 0.14 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
