Archer Woods (15)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 42 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 57.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.12 catches per match over 42 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 16.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.55.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 31). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 33 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 16.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 53 wickets in 41 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 1.29 per match at 16.8, economy 3.55, strike rate 28.4.
