Zachary Simon (18)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 49 balls (SR 102), then 50 to 100 in just 45 (SR 111) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 55.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.14 catches per match over 51 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
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 100.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting 58 × 30% · Bowling 49 × 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 29). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 51 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- 979 runs in 45 innings, adjusted average 28.5, strike rate 55.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 51 played) — 0.76 per match at 24.1, economy 3.95, strike rate 36.6.
