Archer Virtanen (18)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 26 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
16 of 20 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 24% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 26 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 60 × 40% · Batting 47 × 30% · Bowling 49 × 30%. 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 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 13 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- 367 runs in 25 innings, adjusted average 17.6, strike rate 98.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 12 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 0.80 per match at 21.1, economy 4.96, strike rate 25.5.
