How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 41 × 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 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 13 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 44 innings at 19.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 43 wickets in 36 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 1.19 per match at 22.8, economy 3.76, strike rate 36.4.
