David Wildsmith
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 94 balls (SR 53), then 50 to 100 in just 76 (SR 66) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 63.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 12% of 50+ scores become hundreds (14 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 52.1.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 141.
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 50 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 57 × 40% · Batting 86 × 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 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 33 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 10 run outs (1 direct, 9 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.58 per match.
- Batting
- 2,052 runs in 51 innings, adjusted average 52.1, strike rate 63.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
