The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 22 balls (SR 227), then 50 to 100 in just 19 (SR 263) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
Going at 7.23 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
21 of 26 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 10% of 50+ scores become hundreds (9 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.23 dismissals per match across 30 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 41.5.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 135.0) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 186.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting 83 × 30% · Bowling 43 × 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- 1,099 runs in 30 innings, adjusted average 41.5, strike rate 135.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 1.10 per match at 13.9, economy 7.23, strike rate 11.5.
