- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 116.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.46.

- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting 55 × 30% · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.28 for the level played (Club 20 · 4th grade 6 · 5th grade and below 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 34 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 24 catches + 7 run outs (3 direct, 4 assisted) in 63 matches — 0.49 per match.
- Batting
- 819 runs in 46 innings, adjusted average 22.5, strike rate 69.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 69 wickets in 51 matches bowled in (of 63 played) — 1.35 per match at 20.0, economy 3.46, strike rate 34.7.
