Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 10 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 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 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 59 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 51 innings at 13.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 10 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 59 played) — 0.17 per match at 27.4, economy 4.42, strike rate 37.2.
