How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting 57 × 30% · Bowling 65 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 31). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 32 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 15 catches + 6 stumpings + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.57 dismissals per match.
Batting
774 runs in 35 innings, adjusted average 25.3, strike rate 97.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
36 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 1.38 per match at 14.8, economy 4.19, strike rate 21.1.
