The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 30 balls (SR 167), then 50 to 100 in just 20 (SR 250) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 57 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
33 of 47 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.35 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 39.2.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 107.3) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 117.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting 81 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 14 catches + 6 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 57 matches — 0.35 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,884 runs in 55 innings, adjusted average 39.2, strike rate 107.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 3.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 57 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
