How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting 62 × 30% · Bowling 63 × 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 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 20 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 12 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.46 per match.
Batting
308 runs in 21 innings, adjusted average 17.5, strike rate 73.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
40 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 1.74 per match at 15.1, economy 3.07, strike rate 29.6.
