How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 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 58). 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: 9 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 58 matches — 0.16 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 53 innings at 13.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 49 wickets in 55 matches bowled in (of 58 played) — 0.89 per match at 10.7, economy 3.13, strike rate 20.6.
