How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 54 × 40% · Batting 53 × 30% · Bowling 65 × 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 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.52 per match.
- Batting
- 591 runs in 22 innings, adjusted average 35.4, strike rate 89.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 17 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 1.21 per match at 11.5, economy 3.62, strike rate 19.1.
