How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting 93 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- 1,572 runs in 37 innings, adjusted average 50.5, strike rate 88.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
