Liam Smith
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 98 balls (SR 51), then 50 to 100 in just 61 (SR 82) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 5 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 12 matches (+4.8)
- ● Body of work — 13 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 56.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 33.8.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 114.
- ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 13 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting 70 × 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
- ×0.77 for the level played (1st grade 10 · 2nd grade 2 · Club 1). 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: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- 341 runs in 11 innings, adjusted average 33.8, strike rate 56.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 3.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 13 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
