Ella Smith (13)
Representative pathway — 7 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 15 matches (+6.0)
- ● Body of work — 49 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 55.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.53 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.7.
- ✓ Safe hands — 26 catches in 49 matches (0.53 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 14 run outs.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 15 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 62 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.46 for the level played (Rep Div 1 15 · Club 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 45 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 16 catches + 15 stumpings + 14 run outs (4 direct, 10 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.92 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 40 innings at 16.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 27 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 0.81 per match at 17.7, economy 4.00, strike rate 26.5.
