The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 87 balls (SR 57), then 50 to 100 in just 43 (SR 116) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
mediumBatting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
mediumFielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par
0.24 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
Strengths
✓ Safe hands — 31 catches in 89 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 38 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.40 for the level played (Rep Div 1 8 · Club 32). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 18 catches + 3 stumpings + 9 run outs (5 direct, 4 assisted) in 89 matches — 0.34 dismissals per match.
Batting
Not rated: 88 innings at 21.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
48 wickets in 66 matches bowled in (of 89 played) — 0.73 per match at 14.9, economy 4.15, strike rate 21.6.
