The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 26 balls (SR 192), then 50 to 100 in just 17 (SR 294) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
Going at 5.64 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
24 of 34 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Only 12% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.55 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 133.6) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 112.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.8.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 19 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 38 matches (0.55 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 64 × 40% · Batting 57 × 30% · Bowling 44 × 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 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.58 per match.
- Batting
- 987 runs in 36 innings, adjusted average 28.9, strike rate 133.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 25 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 1.14 per match at 17.8, economy 5.64, strike rate 18.9.
