How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 59 × 40% · Batting 81 × 30% · Bowling 62 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.56 for the level played (Rep Div 1 38 · 2nd grade 1 · Club 45 · 4th grade 2). 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: 38 catches + 15 run outs (15 direct, 0 assisted) in 86 matches — 0.62 per match.
- Batting
- 2,376 runs in 76 innings, adjusted average 35.4, strike rate 85.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 79 wickets in 73 matches bowled in (of 86 played) — 1.08 per match at 14.0, economy 3.43, strike rate 24.5.
