Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 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 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 33 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 89 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 58 innings at 10.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 105 wickets in 84 matches bowled in (of 89 played) — 1.25 per match at 19.4, economy 4.03, strike rate 28.9.
