Colac-South West Cricket Premier Division · 2025/26 · 14×4, 11×6 · SR 123

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting 94 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 (Rep Div 2 1 · Club 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 17 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 63 catches + 12 run outs (10 direct, 2 assisted) in 198 matches — 0.38 per match.
Batting
6,162 runs in 209 innings, adjusted average 32.0, strike rate 65.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 30 wickets from 259.0 overs across 59 matches bowled in (of 198 played) — 0.15 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
