How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 40% · Batting 88 × 30% · 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 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 15 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 12 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.50 per match.
Batting
687 runs in 26 innings, adjusted average 31.5, strike rate 89.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 0 wickets from 1.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
