160* off 127
Colts Div 1 · 2025/26 · 17×4, 1×6
· SR 126
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 52 balls (SR 96), then 50 to 100 in just 42 (SR 119) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.40 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 32.1.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 160.
- ✓ Safe hands — 58 catches in 145 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 17 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting 66 × 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
- ×0.58 for the level played (National competition 12 · 1st grade 2 · 2nd grade 9 · Club 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 43 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 56 catches + 17 run outs (7 direct, 10 assisted) in 145 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- 3,184 runs in 126 innings, adjusted average 32.1, strike rate 77.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 45 wickets from 194.7 overs across 58 matches bowled in (of 145 played) — 0.78 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
