Shane Williams
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 40 balls (SR 125), then 50 to 100 in just 31 (SR 161) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
10 of 20 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.
Going at 6.85 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 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 35.1.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 125.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting 69 × 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 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- 715 runs in 23 innings, adjusted average 35.1, strike rate 86.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 7 wickets from 31.7 overs across 11 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 0.64 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
