Daniel Balzer
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 43 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 52.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.37 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
0.56 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 24 catches in 43 matches (0.56 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 82 × 40% · Batting 42 × 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 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 2 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 14 catches + 2 stumpings + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.44 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 779 runs in 43 innings, adjusted average 20.2, strike rate 52.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 38.0 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 0.12 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
