How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 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 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 9 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 4 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.38 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 19 innings at 7.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
40 wickets in 24 matches — 1.67 per match at 21.0, economy 3.51, strike rate 36.0.
