How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 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 34). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 34 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 32 catches + 5 run outs (3 direct, 2 assisted) in 130 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 81 innings at 8.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 194 wickets in 126 matches bowled in (of 130 played) — 1.54 per match at 18.3, economy 3.74, strike rate 29.4.
