Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 41 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.42 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 8 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 6 innings at 11.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 7 wickets in 8 matches — 0.88 per match at 36.0, economy 4.13, strike rate 52.3.
