How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 39 innings at 9.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 39 matches — 0.77 per match at 13.4, economy 3.90, strike rate 20.7.
