The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 67 balls (SR 75), then 50 to 100 in just 38 (SR 132) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 54.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.56 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 69 catches in 123 matches (0.56 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 23 run outs.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 46 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 77 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
×0.42 for the level played (Rep Div 1 13 · Club 10 · 4th grade 4 · 5th grade and below 13). 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
Keeping: 64 catches + 46 stumpings + 23 run outs (1 direct, 22 assisted) in 123 matches — 1.08 dismissals per match.
Batting
Not rated: 105 innings at 15.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 11 wickets from 79.5 overs across 30 matches bowled in (of 123 played) — 0.09 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
