James Wigginton
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 90 balls (SR 56), then 50 to 100 in just 66 (SR 76) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 61.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
33 of 45 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Only 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.56 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 102.
- ✓ Safe hands — 31 catches in 55 matches (0.56 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 53 × 40% · Batting 61 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 39). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 39 matches since 6 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 31 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.56 per match.
- Batting
- 1,132 runs in 52 innings, adjusted average 24.7, strike rate 61.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 3.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
