Critical recommendations
high
Bowling
Conceding too many extras
1.0 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
high
Bowling
Economy under pressure
Going at 9.00 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).

Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 4 matches — 0.00 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 1 innings at 0.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 8.0 overs across 4 matches — 0.50 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
