David Baron
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 37 balls (SR 135), then 50 to 100 in just 18 (SR 278) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
Going at 5.52 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 22% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.43 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 23 catches in 53 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 37 × 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 31). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 23 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 46 innings at 15.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 27 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 0.73 per match at 32.9, economy 5.52, strike rate 35.7.
