How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 69 × 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 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 10.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 45 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 2.05 per match at 14.0, economy 3.55, strike rate 23.8.
