The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 60 balls (SR 83), then 50 to 100 in just 53 (SR 94) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 43.1 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 8% of 50+ scores become hundreds (12 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.48 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 30.1.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 109.
  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.8.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.51.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 29 catches in 60 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting 55 × 30% · Bowling 66 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 38). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 29 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 60 matches — 0.52 per match.
Batting
1,577 runs in 61 innings, adjusted average 30.1, strike rate 43.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
49 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 60 played) — 1.26 per match at 16.8, economy 3.51, strike rate 28.8.
