How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 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 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 8 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 11 matches — 0.27 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 10 innings at 11.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
24 wickets in 11 matches — 2.18 per match at 11.6, economy 2.73, strike rate 25.6.
