Paxton Smart (19)
Representative pathway — 5 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 12 matches (+4.8)
- ● Body of work — 32 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.3 over 28 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
0.34 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
0.44 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 32 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
- ×0.56 for the level played (Rep Div 1 12 · Club 20). 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
- Keeping: 11 catches + 0 stumpings + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.41 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 13.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 6 wickets from 17.3 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 0.19 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
