The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 73 balls (SR 68), then 50 to 100 in just 45 (SR 111) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 5 matches (+2.0)
- ● Body of work — 7 imported matches (+0.1)
Critical recommendations
3 of 4 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
74% of runs come in boundaries yet the strike rate is modest — between boundaries the scoreboard stalls. Add strike rotation to keep bowlers from settling.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 43.4.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 101.
- ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 7 matches (0.86 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 61 × 40% · Batting 88 × 30% · Bowling 60 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.85 for the level played (1st grade 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 5 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 7 matches — 0.86 per match.
- Batting
- 181 runs in 5 innings, adjusted average 43.4, strike rate 72.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 7 matches — 2.57 per match at 20.7, economy 4.30, strike rate 28.9.
