Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.44 for the level played (Rep Div 1 12 · Club 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 15.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 33 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 0.79 per match at 19.4, economy 4.06, strike rate 28.6.
