How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 87 × 40% · Batting 64 × 30% · Bowling 62 × 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
Rated on the last 4 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 15 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.59 per match.
Batting
299 runs in 24 innings, adjusted average 14.5, strike rate 72.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
30 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 1.58 per match at 14.0, economy 3.41, strike rate 24.7.
