How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 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 73). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 28 catches + 6 run outs (6 direct, 0 assisted) in 73 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 54 innings at 15.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 97 wickets in 71 matches bowled in (of 73 played) — 1.37 per match at 11.8, economy 3.41, strike rate 20.7.
