How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting 42 × 30% · Bowling 19 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.47 for the level played (2nd grade 10 · Club 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 22 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 74 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- 1,484 runs in 60 innings, adjusted average 30.5, strike rate 65.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 45 wickets in 34 matches bowled in (of 74 played) — 1.32 per match at 16.1, economy 3.69, strike rate 26.2.
