John Heard
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 96 balls (SR 52), then 50 to 100 in just 49 (SR 102) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
4 of 7 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.
Only 0.09 catches per match over 11 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 54.7.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 120.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 9.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.36.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 18 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 8 × 40% · Batting 82 × 30% · Bowling 70 × 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 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 11 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 11 matches — 0.09 per match.
- Batting
- 403 runs in 9 innings, adjusted average 54.7, strike rate 68.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 12 wickets in 7 matches bowled in (of 11 played) — 1.71 per match at 9.8, economy 3.36, strike rate 17.6.
