The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 39 balls (SR 128), then 50 to 100 in just 29 (SR 172) — more than double the tempo.

Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 12% of 50+ scores become hundreds (14 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 108.
- ✓ Safe hands — 56 catches in 151 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 65 × 40% · Batting 74 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 30 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 56 catches + 9 run outs (8 direct, 1 assisted) in 151 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- 2,882 runs in 150 innings, adjusted average 21.3, strike rate 71.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 64 wickets from 291.0 overs across 66 matches bowled in (of 151 played) — 0.97 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
