How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 16.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 28 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 1.17 per match at 17.6, economy 4.05, strike rate 26.1.
