Oscar Archibald
Representative pathway — 5 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Division 1 representative (+4)
- ● Premier or state pathway — 2 matches (+0.8)
- ● Body of work — 15 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.07 catches per match over 15 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 9.3.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 12 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 6 × 40% · Batting 39 × 30% · Bowling 69 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.36 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.07 per match.
- Batting
- 217 runs in 14 innings, adjusted average 29.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 20 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 1.43 per match at 9.4, economy 4.69, strike rate 12.0.
