Joshua Brooker
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 63 balls (SR 79), then 50 to 100 in just 42 (SR 119) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
Only 0.13 catches per match over 45 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.
29 of 39 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 103.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting 49 × 30% · Bowling 64 × 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 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- 862 runs in 45 innings, adjusted average 21.7, strike rate 84.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 0.75 per match at 21.4, economy 3.99, strike rate 32.2.
