Critical recommendations

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.88 is excellent but a wicket every 52 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.23 dismissals per match across 13 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

info General
Small sample size

Only 3 batting innings imported — import more of this player's matches before treating these findings as conclusive.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 38 × 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
No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
Fielding
Outfield: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.23 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 3 innings at 4.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
12 wickets in 13 matches — 0.92 per match at 33.6, economy 3.88, strike rate 52.0.
