The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 30 balls (SR 167), then 50 to 100 in just 17 (SR 294) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 25 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.08 catches per match over 25 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 118.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 7 × 40% · Batting 53 × 30% · Bowling 53 × 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.08 per match.
- Batting
- 406 runs in 21 innings, adjusted average 22.1, strike rate 70.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 18 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 1.06 per match at 22.1, economy 5.24, strike rate 25.3.
