How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 11 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 2 catches + 5 stumpings + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 12 matches — 0.75 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 11 innings at 21.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
