Aaron Smith (23)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 64 imported matches (+1.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.1 over 42 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
14 of 27 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.
Going at 5.53 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0.13 catches per match over 64 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.
Out for 0 in 26% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 64 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 42 innings at 6.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 47 wickets in 59 matches bowled in (of 64 played) — 0.80 per match at 33.4, economy 5.53, strike rate 36.3.
