Lewis Baker (34)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 99 balls (SR 51), then 50 to 100 in just 46 (SR 109) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 59.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
8 of 12 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
1.0 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Going at 5.88 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Out for 0 in 15% 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
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 118.
- ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 15 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 50 × 40% · Batting 54 × 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 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.60 per match.
- Batting
- 236 runs in 13 innings, adjusted average 19.6, strike rate 59.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 25.0 overs across 6 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 0.50 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
