How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 19 innings at 11.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 40 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 1.74 per match at 8.9, economy 3.31, strike rate 16.2.
