The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 71 balls (SR 70), then 50 to 100 in just 42 (SR 119) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 8 matches (+1.2)
- ● Body of work — 31 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.13 catches per match over 31 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.
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.87 is excellent but a wicket every 53 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 108.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 7 × 40% · Batting 63 × 30% · Bowling 18 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.45 for the level played (Rep Div 1 8 · Club 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 31 matches — 0.16 per match.
- Batting
- 652 runs in 30 innings, adjusted average 26.1, strike rate 73.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 8 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 31 played) — 0.50 per match at 34.4, economy 3.87, strike rate 53.3.
