Simon Collins
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 38 balls (SR 132), then 50 to 100 in just 28 (SR 179) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
Only 0.04 catches per match over 27 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
74% of runs come in boundaries yet the strike rate is modest — between boundaries the scoreboard stalls. Add strike rotation to keep bowlers from settling.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 31.0.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 137.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 78 × 30% · 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.04 per match.
- Batting
- 722 runs in 26 innings, adjusted average 31.0, strike rate 84.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
