Critical recommendations

high Bowling
Economy under pressure

Going at 5.62 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).

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 66 × 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 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 2 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 1 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 2 matches — 1.00 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 2 innings at 10.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 6 wickets from 7.8 overs across 2 matches — 3.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
