Tim O'Brien
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 102 balls (SR 49), then 50 to 100 in just 67 (SR 75) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
Only 9% of 50+ scores become hundreds (10 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Economy of 3.42 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.53 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 35.4.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 128.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.42.
- ✓ Safe hands — 26 catches in 49 matches (0.53 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 40% · Batting 72 × 30% · Bowling 50 × 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 32). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 32 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 26 catches + 5 run outs (1 direct, 4 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.63 per match.
- Batting
- 1,412 runs in 46 innings, adjusted average 35.4, strike rate 65.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 0.94 per match at 24.0, economy 3.42, strike rate 42.1.
