How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting 67 × 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
- ×0.31 for the level played (3rd grade 2 · Club 10 · 4th grade 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- 452 runs in 20 innings, adjusted average 23.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 24.0 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 0.06 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
