Craig Woods
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 43 balls (SR 116), then 50 to 100 in just 34 (SR 147) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
Only 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.27 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
0.47 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 102.5) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 108.
- ✓ Safe hands — 28 catches in 60 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting 72 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 7 run outs (1 direct, 6 assisted) in 60 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- 1,628 runs in 64 innings, adjusted average 29.8, strike rate 102.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 9 wickets from 53.0 overs across 17 matches bowled in (of 60 played) — 0.15 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
