Ritchie Smith
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 5 matches (+0.8)
- ● Body of work — 55 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.7 over 33 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.04 catches per match over 55 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.45.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 50). 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: 2 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.05 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 8.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 87 wickets in 50 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 1.74 per match at 14.5, economy 3.45, strike rate 25.2.
