The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 24 balls (SR 208), then 50 to 100 in just 17 (SR 294) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 6 matches (+0.9)
- ● Body of work — 28 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
21 of 25 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.54 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 136.7) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 130.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 28 matches (0.54 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 53 × 40% · Batting 75 × 30% · Bowling 54 × 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 6 · Club 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 28 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.61 per match.
- Batting
- 721 runs in 26 innings, adjusted average 28.8, strike rate 136.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 1.24 per match at 21.7, economy 4.95, strike rate 26.3.
