The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 101 balls (SR 50), then 50 to 100 in just 40 (SR 125) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 62 imported matches (+1.2)
Critical recommendations
40 of 53 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Only 13% of 50+ scores become hundreds (13 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.56 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 36.9.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 111.9) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 115.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.5.
- ✓ Safe hands — 35 catches in 62 matches (0.56 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 68 × 40% · Batting 84 × 30% · Bowling 63 × 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 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 35 catches + 6 run outs (5 direct, 1 assisted) in 62 matches — 0.66 per match.
- Batting
- 1,998 runs in 62 innings, adjusted average 36.9, strike rate 111.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 62 played) — 1.07 per match at 17.5, economy 3.86, strike rate 27.2.
