Matthew Smith
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 60 imported matches (+1.2)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 36.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 12% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.58 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 126.
- ✓ Safe hands — 35 catches in 60 matches (0.58 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 55 × 40% · Batting 42 × 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 60). 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: 33 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 60 matches — 0.58 per match.
- Batting
- 1,102 runs in 52 innings, adjusted average 24.9, strike rate 36.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 30 wickets from 122.2 overs across 21 matches bowled in (of 60 played) — 0.50 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
