Ben Risk (21)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 116 balls (SR 43), then 50 to 100 in just 59 (SR 85) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 46.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.47 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 36 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 18.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 1.3 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 0.03 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
