Sam Watkin
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 63 balls (SR 79), then 50 to 100 in just 39 (SR 128) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
Going at 5.72 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.
0.44 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 32 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 16.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 0.88 per match at 26.3, economy 5.72, strike rate 27.5.
