The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 72 balls (SR 69), then 50 to 100 in just 65 (SR 77) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
highBatting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 41.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
mediumBatting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
infoFielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
1.23 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
✓ Safe hands — 95 catches in 77 matches (1.23 per match), a genuine selection asset.
✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 17 run outs.
✓ Sharp glovework — 10 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 86 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
×0.71 for the level played (1st grade 16 · 2nd grade 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 37 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 64 catches + 10 stumpings + 17 run outs (5 direct, 12 assisted) in 77 matches — 1.18 dismissals per match.
Batting
Not rated: 79 innings at 17.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 14 wickets from 61.0 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 77 played) — 0.18 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
