The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 30 balls (SR 167), then 50 to 100 in just 16 (SR 313) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
Only 0.10 catches per match over 10 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.
6 of 8 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 31.1.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 158.7) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 106.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 8 × 40% · Batting 74 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 10 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 10 matches — 0.10 per match.
- Batting
- 252 runs in 9 innings, adjusted average 31.1, strike rate 158.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 9.0 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 10 played) — 0.10 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
