Damian Smith
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 86 balls (SR 58), then 50 to 100 in just 48 (SR 104) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 11 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 62.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.45 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
0.45 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 48.5.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 105.
- ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 11 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting 75 × 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 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 11 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 3 catches + 2 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 11 matches — 0.45 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 451 runs in 11 innings, adjusted average 48.5, strike rate 62.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 8.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 11 played) — 0.36 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
