Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 15). 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: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 16 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 17 innings at 15.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 16 played) — 1.08 per match at 28.8, economy 4.16, strike rate 41.5.
