How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 72 × 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 52). 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: 18 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 44 innings at 18.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 78 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 52 played) — 2.11 per match at 9.4, economy 2.64, strike rate 21.5.
