Joel Rigby
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 70 balls (SR 71), then 50 to 100 in just 52 (SR 96) — more than double the tempo.

- ● Body of work — 18 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.11 catches per match over 18 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.
5 of 7 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 105.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting 57 × 30% · Bowling 21 × 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 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 13 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.11 per match.
- Batting
- 213 runs in 12 innings, adjusted average 25.2, strike rate 74.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 13 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 18 played) — 0.76 per match at 32.6, economy 4.36, strike rate 44.8.
