How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 35 × 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 24). 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: 6 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 14.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 10 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 0.45 per match at 18.7, economy 3.53, strike rate 31.8.
