130* off 164
Kookaburra Sports/Turner Shield · 2024/25 · 15×4, 1×6
· SR 79
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 92 balls (SR 54), then 50 to 100 in just 50 (SR 100) — more than double the tempo.

info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.45 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 35.6.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 130.
- ✓ Safe hands — 58 catches in 128 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 56 × 40% · Batting 79 × 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 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 56 catches + 6 run outs (5 direct, 1 assisted) in 128 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- 3,858 runs in 125 innings, adjusted average 35.6, strike rate 80.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 62 wickets from 400.3 overs across 77 matches bowled in (of 128 played) — 0.81 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
