Josh Smith
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 38 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.2 over 43 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 21% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
1.08 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 41 catches in 38 matches (1.08 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 61 × 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 38). 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
- Keeping: 35 catches + 4 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 38 matches — 1.03 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 43 innings at 10.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 20.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 0.05 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
