EDWARD SMITH (14)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 37 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.9 over 37 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
12 of 24 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.2.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 19 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 37 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 70 × 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 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 37 innings at 12.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 0.91 per match at 14.2, economy 4.45, strike rate 19.2.
