🏅 Ed Newman
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 120 balls (SR 42), then 50 to 100 in just 80 (SR 63) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 55.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 10% of 50+ scores become hundreds (18 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.52 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 47.3.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 124.
- ✓ Safe hands — 31 catches in 60 matches (0.52 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 40% · Batting 89 × 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
- ×0.82 for the level played (1st grade 37 · Club 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 39 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 31 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 60 matches — 0.52 per match.
- Batting
- 2,194 runs in 57 innings, adjusted average 47.3, strike rate 55.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 16.2 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 60 played) — 0.02 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
