Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.31 is excellent but a wicket every 48 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

General
Small sample size
Only 1 batting innings imported — import more of this player's matches before treating these findings as conclusive.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 43.0.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting 39 × 30% · 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 2). 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 2 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- 43 runs in 1 innings, adjusted average 43.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 16.0 overs across 2 matches — 1.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
