The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 124 balls (SR 40), then 50 to 100 in just 74 (SR 68) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
highBatting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 44.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
highFielding
Catching return too low for selection
Only 0.06 catches per match over 78 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
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 4 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
×0.34 for the level played (3rd grade 15 · Club 25 · 4th grade 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 49 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 5 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 78 matches — 0.08 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 76 innings at 17.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 17 wickets from 34.2 overs across 14 matches bowled in (of 78 played) — 0.22 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
