How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 43 × 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 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 11 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 10 innings at 7.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 22 matches — 1.45 per match at 19.1, economy 3.72, strike rate 30.7.
