Critical recommendations

high Bowling
Conceding too many extras

0.9 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.

info General
Small sample size

Only 2 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 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 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 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: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 4 matches — 0.25 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 2 innings at 14.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
7 wickets in 3 matches bowled in (of 4 played) — 1.75 per match at 19.3, economy 5.47, strike rate 21.1.
