The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 41 balls (SR 122), then 50 to 100 in just 34 (SR 147) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
Going at 5.95 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Out for 0 in 24% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.15 dismissals per match across 26 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 18 × 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 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 19.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 8 wickets in 10 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 0.31 per match at 29.0, economy 5.95, strike rate 29.3.
