Matthew Smalley-Harris
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 89 balls (SR 56), then 50 to 100 in just 35 (SR 143) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 20 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 57.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.40 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
0.65 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 111.
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 20 matches (0.65 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting 56 × 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 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 8 catches + 0 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.45 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 477 runs in 20 innings, adjusted average 26.2, strike rate 57.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 4.7 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 20 played) — 0.05 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
