How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 56 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 73 × 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 21). 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 + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.52 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 22 innings at 13.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
83 wickets in 21 matches — 3.95 per match at 7.4, economy 2.45, strike rate 18.1.
