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

Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 64.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 111.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.49.
- ✓ Safe hands — 12 catches in 30 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting 57 × 30% · Bowling 69 × 30%. 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 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 2 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- 465 runs in 24 innings, adjusted average 25.8, strike rate 64.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 49 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 1.88 per match at 11.2, economy 2.49, strike rate 26.9.
