Don Butchart
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 123 balls (SR 41), then 50 to 100 in just 98 (SR 51) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 48.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Economy of 3.00 is excellent but a wicket every 55 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.59 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 32.8.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 115.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.00.
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 22 matches (0.59 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 64 × 40% · Batting 71 × 30% · Bowling 34 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.75 for the level played (1st grade 13 · 2nd grade 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.73 per match.
- Batting
- 559 runs in 18 innings, adjusted average 32.8, strike rate 48.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 22 played) — 1.14 per match at 27.7, economy 3.00, strike rate 55.4.
