Alexander Smith (17)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 77 balls (SR 65), then 50 to 100 in just 60 (SR 83) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 3 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 3 matches (+1.2)
- ● Regional representative — 7 matches (+1.1)
- ● Body of work — 30 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 53.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.43 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 30 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 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
- ×0.37 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · 5th grade and below 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 10 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 23.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 15.0 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 0.03 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
