How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 71 × 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 38). 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 38 matches — 0.13 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 8.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 33 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 0.89 per match at 8.9, economy 3.28, strike rate 16.4.
