The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 78 balls (SR 64), then 50 to 100 in just 62 (SR 81) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 6 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Division 1 representative (+4)
- ● Premier or state pathway — 2 matches (+0.8)
- ● Body of work — 55 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
29 of 40 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 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 11% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.55 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 107.
- ✓ Safe hands — 30 catches in 55 matches (0.55 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 14 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting 44 × 30% · Bowling 26 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.36 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 16 catches + 14 stumpings + 7 run outs (3 direct, 4 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.67 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,231 runs in 54 innings, adjusted average 28.7, strike rate 71.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 13 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 0.24 per match at 35.5, economy 4.70, strike rate 45.2.
