Max Wheatley
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 35 balls (SR 143), then 50 to 100 in just 24 (SR 208) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
4 of 6 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.
1.2 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 31.8.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 107.8) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 101.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.4.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 16 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting 73 × 30% · Bowling 57 × 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 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 7 matches since 29 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 7 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- 195 runs in 7 innings, adjusted average 31.8, strike rate 107.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 10 wickets in 7 matches — 1.43 per match at 14.4, economy 5.33, strike rate 16.2.
