The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 51 balls (SR 98), then 50 to 100 in just 33 (SR 152) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.08 catches per match over 25 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 34.2.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 106.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting 58 × 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 21 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 2 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.12 per match.
Batting
597 runs in 24 innings, adjusted average 34.2, strike rate 77.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 0 wickets from 6.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
