Archie Hurd
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 62 balls (SR 81), then 50 to 100 in just 52 (SR 96) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 11 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 33 matches (+10.0)
- ● Regional representative — 1 match (+0.1)
- ● Body of work — 52 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 62.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
34 of 46 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 30.6.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 170.
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 52 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting 62 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.62 for the level played (1st grade 3 · 2nd grade 30 · 3rd grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 34 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- 1,420 runs in 51 innings, adjusted average 30.6, strike rate 62.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 14.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 52 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
