Luke Smith
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 88 balls (SR 57), then 50 to 100 in just 37 (SR 135) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 19 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Economy of 3.21 is excellent but a wicket every 142 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 32.8.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 135.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting 72 × 30% · Bowling 11 × 30%. 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- 499 runs in 17 innings, adjusted average 32.8, strike rate 75.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 3 wickets in 10 matches bowled in (of 19 played) — 0.30 per match at 76.0, economy 3.21, strike rate 142.0.
