Bayden Smith
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 17 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.9 over 12 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 5.86 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 17 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 21 × 30%. 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 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 11 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 12 innings at 9.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 10 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 0.77 per match at 36.9, economy 5.86, strike rate 37.8.
