Division 1 · 2025/26 · 4×4, 15×6
· SR 240
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 27 balls (SR 185), then 50 to 100 in just 17 (SR 294) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 61.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 10% of 50+ scores become hundreds (18 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 31.0.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 125.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting 67 × 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
- ×0.39 for the level played (1st grade 3 · 2nd grade 3 · 3rd grade 16 · Club 25 · 4th grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 48 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 30 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 97 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- 2,527 runs in 93 innings, adjusted average 31.0, strike rate 61.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 12 wickets from 60.3 overs across 24 matches bowled in (of 97 played) — 0.12 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
