How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 31 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 19.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 17 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 31 played) — 0.85 per match at 21.9, economy 3.33, strike rate 39.5.
