Joel McMahen
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 58 balls (SR 86), then 50 to 100 in just 48 (SR 104) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
Only 0.10 catches per match over 20 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.
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 26 × 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: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.10 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 38.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 12 wickets in 18 matches bowled in (of 20 played) — 0.67 per match at 39.3, economy 4.93, strike rate 47.8.
