Stuart Smith
Representative pathway — 5 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 28 matches (+4.0)
- ● Body of work — 43 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 57.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.09 catches per match over 43 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.66.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 10 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.42 for the level played (3rd grade 28 · Club 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.12 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 39 innings at 15.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 33 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 1.06 per match at 16.4, economy 2.66, strike rate 37.0.
