Ross Smith
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 83 imported matches (+1.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.9 over 72 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
33 of 63 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Out for 0 in 22% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.41 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
- ✓ Safe hands — 54 catches in 83 matches (0.65 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 23 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 83 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 72 innings at 8.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 30.0 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 83 played) — 0.02 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
