- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 99.2) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 118.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting 79 × 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- 831 runs in 28 innings, adjusted average 32.9, strike rate 99.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 7.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
