How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 74 × 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 32). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 32 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 95 catches + 15 run outs (14 direct, 1 assisted) in 254 matches — 0.43 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 273 innings at 19.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
337 wickets in 204 matches bowled in (of 254 played) — 1.65 per match at 17.2, economy 3.40, strike rate 30.3.
